This quarter's meeting brings together senior utility leaders for a candid conversation on what that means for workforce strategy, while the people who've built these organizations are still in the room to talk about it. It's a rare chance to hear directly from decision-makers, not just implementers, and to bring your own questions to the table.</p> <p><strong>Why this is timely:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Executive succession has moved from a back-of-mind HR item to a top-tier business risk across the industry this year — organizations are actively working to support departing senior leaders through the transition, not just backfill the seat</li> <li>NRECA is running active programming on this exact issue for utility co-ops, including a dedicated podcast series this summer on executive succession planning</li> <li>Nationally, companies now rank the failure to attract talent as one of their top four business risks, and a third report already losing ground because of it</li> <li>The industry needs to replace and grow the workforce by roughly 32 million workers over the next decade — a scale that starts at the top, not just in the field</li> </ul> <p><br></p> https://www.wi-energyworkforce.org/event-6789376 https://www.wi-energyworkforce.org/event-6789376
