    Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) UPDATE

    • The SAB has finalized their Mission and Charter…we will share it with the EAC in our meeting follow-up.
    • We will be replacing a UAI Strategic Advisory Board member from Grant County PUD. The Grant County PUD representative left the Utility. We will be looking for a replacement with similar role and utility type and size.
    • The SAB Charter says the following about replacement members:
    • “Subsequent EAC members may by nominated for appointment by both UAI staff and the members of the EAC. Members shall represent a cross-section of the UAI members and collectively they shall match the make-up of the UAI membership.
    • Should a EAC member be unable to complete his/her term for any reason, a replacement EAC member may be selected to serve out the term of the vacated position. The option to offer a replacement a full 2-year term will be left to the discretion of the EAC members as long as the balance of EAC membership is maintained as defined by the rotation schedule.
    • Positions and vacancies are filled as the EAC requires, specifically if there are specific areas of expertise required to meet the needs of the service population.

                • Training –
                  • UAI is working on developing and delivering the following training classes next:
                    • Utility Analytics 201 (offered via virtual classroom and public classroom): A little more advanced course, one step higher than 101 for people that currently have some background knowledge in the analytics field
                    • Course Name TBD (offered via virtual classroom and public classroom):
                      • A deep dive into the theoretical concepts of data and how we can apply them to real life scenarios in utilities
                      • Utility Analytics 101 covers the technical aspects of analytics, it would be interesting to have another course that focuses on the planning and execution aspects of implementing analytics projects that address business problems and align with the organization objectives. Share more use cases in this course too.
                      • A practical course which would present real world examples being solved and/or a workshop where the participants have to use various tools to solve problems
                    • Course Names TBD (offered on-demand):
                      • 8-hour deep dives into utility specific types and utility analytics focus areas
                      • A deep dive into some of our analytics community focus areas
                      • A deep dive into utility types: Transmission, Distribution, Generation, Natural Gas, Water, Wholesale Power, etc., etc., etc.
