About this event

General Foreman Roundtable (Fall 2026)October 7, 2026 (8:30 am - 1:00 pm) | NEPPA Training Center Northeast Public Power is excited to host General Foreman from the region to come together for this interactive roundtable discussion. This year's General Foreman Roundtable will be held Wednesday, October 7, 2026 from 8:30am-1:00pm at the NEPPA Training Center (200 New Estate Road, Littleton, MA 01460). This General Foreman Roundtable is an open, experience-based discussion focused on the real decisions General Foremen face in electric utility work. This session is designed as a moderated peer-to-peer conversation. Seasoned and newer General Foremen alike are encouraged to share their experiences, perspectives, and lessons learned--from decisions made under pressure, to managing risk in the field, to building and maintaining trust with crews. The goal is simple: learn from each other. By openly discussing what works, what doesn't, and what we've learned along the way, we strengthen our leadership, improve safety, and grow together as professionals.
