⛳⚡ Sunshine, swings, and support for a great cause.

NEPPA’s 2026 RodE&O Benevolent Fund Golf Tournament brought together the public power community for a day of friendly competition, laughs, and giving back at the beautiful Maplewood Golf Course in Bethlehem, NH. 🏌️‍♂️🌲

Every drive, putt, and raffle ticket helped support NEPPA’s Benevolent Fund — providing assistance to public power employees and families facing hardship during times of injury, illness, or loss. ❤️

When the lights go out… this is where the real work starts. ⚡🛠️

NEPPA’s 2026 Mutual Aid Disaster Exercise is back on June 10 — and we’re putting the plan to the test.

This isn’t a sit-and-listen kind of day. It’s boots-on-the-ground tabletop “game play” where utility crews, operators, engineers, and coordinators walk through a real-world outage scenario and figure out how we move power, people, and resources when it matters most.

Good coffee. Real scenarios. Better coordination.

Because when mutual aid gets called, there’s no time to figure it out later.

Your IT department deserves a field trip. 💻⚡

NEPPA’s IT Roundtable is back June 2 — and yes, we’re talking about OpenAI, emerging tech, utility challenges, cybersecurity, and the stuff everyone usually saves for the parking lot conversation afterward.

Good discussion. Good networking. Good food.
Still a few spots left, so don’t let your coworker grab the last seat before you do!
