They are free to NEPPA members. Each month a different industry professional will present on a relevant public power topic\, with opportunties to ask questions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presenter:\nBrock Mowry\, CUSPTechnical Analyst / Journeyman Lineman\,Fast Forward\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Topic:Building Field Confidence and Operational Intelligence\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Topic Description:  \nBuilding Field Confidence and Operational Intelligence is a utility safety presentation by Brock Mowry (CUSP\, Fast Forward) that introduces a practical\, technology-agnostic framework for reducing unnecessary uncertainty before field work begins. It argues that better pre-job understanding—drawn from work orders\, GIS\, records\, panoramic and thermal imagery\, experience\, and verification—improves decisions on planning\, briefings\, equipment\, sequencing\, and precautions without replacing crew judgment. The core process (Observe → Understand → Validate → Share → Decide → Act with Confidence) treats knowledge itself as a safety control that strengthens existing programs and turns individual lessons into organizational starting points for the next crew. Ultimately\, the presentation stresses that the goal is not perfect prediction but fewer surprises\, so utilities better protect the people who work on the system. \nAbout the Company:  \nFast Forward is a leading utility technology company revolutionizing how electric utilities and municipalities document\, inspect\, and maintain infrastructure. Both vehicle and UTV-mounted camera systems are autonomous\, achieving a rare balance of cost-efficiency\, quality\, and speed. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register here URL:https://neppa.org/event/tactical-tuesday-december/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Tactical Tuesday ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://neppa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/2026-Tactical-Tuesday.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270510 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270514 DTSTAMP:20260729T181757Z CREATED:20260729T181756Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T181757Z UID:10000584-1809907200-1810252799@neppa.org SUMMARY:2027 RodE&O Conference and Expo DESCRIPTION:Save the Date!\n \n \n \n \n \n NEPPA’s 2027 RodE&O Conference and Expowhich will be held on May 10-13\, 2027at The Loon Mountain Resort (60 Loon Mountain Rd\, Lincoln\, NH 03251). \nJoin your colleagues and industry partners for 2.5 days of competition\, educational programming and networking opportunities!
