What Members Are Saying
"It was valuable to hear about the emerging trends shaping our industry at the Utility HR Management Conference, and I appreciated being able to bring some of those insights back to Caney Fork Electric and share them with coworkers, sparking some great conversations.”
Layla Walker
Staff Administrative Assistant, Caney Fork Electric Cooperative
"As an introverted person, it is not easy to come out of my shell in environments I am unfamiliar with, surrounded by people I do not know. However, the shared commonalities of all our roles helped me feel comfortable participating in discussions during the Administrative Professional Program. I absolutely love that this class was created with a focus on our profession and industry."
Angela Leon
Administrative Coordinator, Jackson Energy Authority
"The instructors’ depth of knowledge in the Certified Safety Coordinator program amazed me—anyone working in safety can learn something valuable from each one of them. I learned that every individual is actually a safety employee; it’s everyone’s responsibility to stay focused on safety."
Brandon Campbell
Safety Environmental and Facilities Coordinator, City of Elizabethton Electric Department
“TVPPA's Annual Conference always provides perspective and insights about industry trends and challenges, organizational leadership, and other useful topics that broaden my horizon."
Mark Iverson
General Manager, Bowling Green Municipal Utilities
“My time spent networking at conferences and events with others who are passionate about public power is very beneficial!"
Jarrod Brackett
General Manager & CEO, Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative
"This Certified Safety Coordinator program was monumental for me, being new to utility safety. Taking the real-world experiences from the instructors and other attendees and applying them to our co-op was really beneficial."
Cody McDonald
Safety & Environmental Compliance Manager, Joe Wheeler EMC
"The thing I appreciate most about TVPPA is just the willingness to help. If we need something, TVPPA staff are the first people that we call to ask, if it’s something large. And if they don’t have an answer, they’re getting us an answer and that’s what I appreciate most."
Mary McDuffa
General Manager, Florence Electricity Department
"TVPPA came through at a critical juncture, not only in our industry, but in our country. They helped us work around the supply chain issues that every industry seemed to be having at that moment. TVPPA’s fleet discount can save LPCs a considerable amount of money on a truck; if you’re not using that, you’re leaving money on the table.”
Shawn Edmondson
General Manager, Natchez Trace Electric Power Association
"Finding a new general manager, it’s a pretty big deal. Not only did we need someone advising us who understood the search process, but also someone who knows the importance of recruiting great candidates and learning about their management style. TVPPA's executive search helped us ask the right questions and set us up for success."
Jeff Mathews
Human Resources Manager, Winchester Utility System
"The best part of the Certified Utility Human Resources program was the friendships and relationships I built. Everybody wants you to succeed, and they’re willing to help you in any way that they can.”
Dwan Garrett
Human Resources Associate, Rockwood Electric Utility
