From The Desk of Ken Wilmot (Alltricity Network Executive Director)

As we close out another pivotal year in the electric utility industry, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together—and optimistic about what’s ahead. The challenges we face, including accelerating the energy transition, integrating advanced technologies (including AI‑driven analytics and predictive maintenance), and strengthening our workforce, are significant. Yet they bring powerful opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and leadership. In 2026, we look forward to deepening our partnership with you and delivering even more dynamic, flexible education and networking opportunities—both virtual and in-person—to meet members where they are.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to our members for your dedication and support this past year. I also wish to acknowledge the Alltricity Network and Alltricity Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors, Education Committees, Alltricity Network staff, and the many members who hosted events and shared expertise in 2025. Your contributions are the foundation on which members explore, collaborate, and thrive. Thank you all for your continued partnership and commitment to the industry and Alltricity Network.

As we celebrate the season, I wish you warmth, joy, and quality time with loved ones. Here’s to a 2026 filled with opportunity and success — together!

⛳🌵 Big thanks for a fantastic November 2025 Golf Tournament!

Thanks to the high demand and success of the June tournament in Colorado, we were excited to host a second 2025 Alltricity Scholarship Foundation Golf Tournament—this time in sunny Arizona… where it somehow still managed to rain! But a few showers didn’t stop us from enjoying a fantastic day on the course, and we’re grateful to everyone who came out and made it such a fun and memorable event.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of our golfers and sponsors, we raised $55,000 in revenue, continuing the momentum from June’s record-breaking tournament and further strengthening support for students pursuing careers across the utility industry. We truly appreciate everyone who teed off with us and helped make this second tournament such a success. With strong participation in both tournaments, we’re already looking forward to bringing a second tournament back in 2026!

Mark your calendars for the Summer 2026 Golf Tournament on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Arrowhead Golf Club in Littleton, CO, and stay tuned for more information on the Fall 2026 Golf Tournament, slated to take place in either Arizona or Texas.
