  UAI Community Engagement Award – Become This Year’s Most Engaged Professional!

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on May 24, 2022 at 1:42 am

  Hello UAI Members,

  Today I wanted to promote our final award category, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARD. Divided into two parts (MOST ENGAGED PROFESSIONAL & MOST ENGAGED UTILITY COMPANY) this award recognizes both individuals and teams for their overall engagement throughout UAI, including but not limited to, UAI Connect activity, community involvement, volunteerism, event involvement, etc. With all of the great individuals and teams that make up our community it’s always a challenge to select winners for this award, but none-the-less love taking an opportunity to recognize those who have taken time to contribute this past year!

  Next week I’ll be speaking more to The Most Engaged Utility Company, but today want to focus on THE MOST ENGAGED PROFESSIONAL and recognize last year’s winner @Ben, Principal Analyst of Emerging Technologies at New York Power Authority (NYPA), who continues to exemplify what it means to be an engaged UAI member/professional. Hear directly from Ben on what this award meant to him and his team during his 2021 Acceptance Speech. 

   

  *Please note: Nominations not required to qualify for the UAI Community Engagement Award. UAI will select our winners from a combination of engagement activity, including engagement score on UAI Connect, UAI Community Conversation participation and leadership, and volunteerism with UAI.  

   

  THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARD – MOST ENGAGED PROFESSIONAL 

  UAI will select our winner for this award category from a combination of engagement activity, including engagement score on UAI Connect (How often are you posting or replying on Ask Your Network or other online communities? How often are you sharing resources? Are you viewing and downloading research? Have you completed your profile? Are you inviting other members to connect and sending direct messages via UAI Connect direct messaging?… all of these activities count toward your overall engagement score on UAI Connect), UAI Community Conversation involvement (Are you attending Community Conversations regularly? Are you volunteering as a Community leader or sponsor?), and other volunteerism with UAI… there are so many opportunities to get involved to become a more engaged UAI member. 
  
  Reach out to me directly at kpraet@utilityanalytics.com if you want to get more involved or have questions about volunteering with UAI…
  
  

  Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your utility as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new connections, expands your network, and boosts your social skills. In other words…The more you give, the more you get in return.
