(Monday, June 15 - Thursday, June 18)
Welcome WUTAB Members and Guests!
The Western Utilities Training Advisory Board (WUTAB) 2009 conference planning is underway. We
can all look forward to some fun in the sun as this year’s conference will be held in sunny Pensacola, Florida. Our host, Gulf Power, welcomes utility and safety trainers from across the country to experience a taste of white beaches and clear blue skies.
This year’s conference focuses on Purpose, Progress and Possibilities in Training. With training resources stretched as never before, companies just can’t go it alone. When we share best practices and lessons learned, we all benefit. Each of us has at least one piece of the training puzzle; and, when we bring our unique perspectives to the table we find ourselves sharing fresh and effective training solutions.
Join us at the Pensacola Hilton, for a sweet escape to paradise on the Gulf of Mexico. The area has something for every member of the family. While conference attendees enjoy informative presentations and networking, significant others can enjoy the many fabulous activities Pensacola has to offer, such as sandy white beaches and shopping at the boardwalk. Don’t miss out on exciting day excursions and relaxing evening activities.
