Six Volunteer-Led Taskforces to Work with PLMA to Develop and Achieve these Goals
In order to realize the full potential of Vision 2024, PLMA has sought the experience, knowledge, and participation of our member practitioners to work together and implement the strategic initiatives and operational imperatives over the next two years.

You’ll learn by participating in the collaborative efforts of a group of smart, dedicated peers who meet a couple of times each month. You’ll have an opportunity to brainstorm and share ideas, experience new leadership opportunities, and participate in important load management advancements within the energy industry.
