It’s our birthday — and we’re celebrating our members! As MEUW celebrates its 98th birthday this October, we’re taking time to recognize the members who make our association what it is. Your commitment to public power, willingness to share your expertise, and dedication to your communities are what make MEUW strong.
Join the fun as we celebrate MEUW’s 98th! We have several ways for you to take part in Member Appreciation Days:
- Participate in daily contests for a chance to win prizes.
- Watch for exciting announcements throughout the celebration.
- Share your feedback and help us continue to make MEUW better for our members.
- Nominate someone you think deserves recognition from MEUW.

Registration for Electric Operations Conference & Expo is now open! MEUW and the Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association (WECA) are again organizing the annual Electric Operations Conference & Expo. EOCE27 will take place at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells on Jan. 13 and 14. Municipal utility employees at all levels are welcome and encouraged to attend the event, which features plenty of time to network and a full agenda with a great lineup of speakers on an array of important and relevant topics.
Three types of registration passes — labeled as Kilowatt, Megawatt, and Gigawatt — are available to accommodate those who wish to attend only part of the two-day event. Those most interested in the Expo (trade show), for example, will want to purchase a Megawatt pass, which offers access to the Wednesday evening Welcome Reception and Thursday’s conference sessions, meals, and the Expo. MEUW members who register by Dec. 1 can get a Megawatt pass for $265.
Full details about the event — including a link to reserve your hotel room at a special rate, and information about the Apprentice Graduation Banquet — are available here.
Share your Public Power Week photos: Did your utility celebrate Public Power Week earlier this month? We’d like to share photos and news about how your utility celebrated Public Power Week with your community. Please send pics and details to news@meuw.org so we can include them in a future edition of Live Lines.
Send us your job postings: Remember that MEUW welcomes the opportunity to help you attract qualified applicants to your utility’s job openings. In fact, we know our “Employment” page is among the most visited pages on MEUW.org!
Send your open job postings to office@meuw.org whenever they become available. We will post your position and publicize it in the next issue of Live Lines (if the position is not filled prior to its monthly publication date).
Set yourself up for success through leadership training course: Get ready for a great 2027 by investing in your own professional development through this Dec. 2 Leading Through Coaching course. As part of MEUW’s professional development programming, we’re offering a one-day leadership development course that focuses on knowing how and when to coach — highlighting the skills and emotional intelligence needed to coach others effectively. Good coaches are seen as role models and therefore need to understand those things that cause them to have frustration, negative self-talk, and, in turn, keep them from channeling their emotions productively. Knowing yourself will help you to be more effective as a leader and a coach resulting in the ability to effectively develop others. Registration and details about what you’ll learn are available here.
