Code of Conduct

Attendees of American Public Power Association meetings agree to abide by the APPA Code of Conduct. If attendees engage in unacceptable behavior as outlined in the Code of Conduct, the Association may take any action it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, expulsion from the current and future meetings with no warning or refund.

How can I present at the conference?

We welcome your topic and speaker ideas for future conferences and events. Submit your idea for consideration at a future event. Conference topics are generally determined 6-8 months before the event is held, and submissions will be kept on file for a full year. If the agenda for the conference has already been determined, your ideas will be considered for the next year’s event, or in case a space opens up in the current year’s program. You will be contacted only if your idea is selected for an upcoming conference.

How can I serve as an officer?

Utility employees play a vital role in planning the conference. Email Academy@PublicPower.org if you are interested in taking a leadership position in the conference by serving as an officer for one of the following tracks:

Accounting & Finance
Human Resources
Rates & Pricing
Risk Management & Insurance
