New England’s premier electric utility trade show and information exchange where public power operating personnel from throughout the region join together to share ideas and experiences, and to view the very latest in utility equipment and technology.

Mark and Jay Kruger of long-time NEPPA member and supporter, Altec Industries, will be dinner speakers at NEPPA’s Safety & Operations Conference planned for June 10-11. However, the two brothers will not be talking about bucket trucks. The topic will be the value of a healthy life style. The brothers were recently featured on “The Biggest Loser”, the popular TV weight loss series. Contestants on the show work out under the supervision of professional trainers who challenge and encourage overweight participants to undergo physical make overs, without any kind of surgery, in a safe and recommended manner through comprehensive diet and exercise. Don't miss this valuable and entertaining presentation.
