What is the American Public Power Association (APPA)?
APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. We represent public power before the federal government to protect the interests of the more than 54 million customers that public power utilities serve, and the 96,000 people they employ. APPA advocates and advises on electricity policy, technology, trends, training, and operations. Our members strengthen their communities by providing superior service, engaging citizens, and instilling pride in community-owned power.
What is the Joint Action Conference?
This is public power’s meeting for joint action agency professionals to meet and discuss emerging policy, regulatory, and power supply issues, and other topics related to the governance and management of joint action agencies.
Why should my company sponsor and exhibit at this event?
