We’re thankful for the promises of “can’t wait until next year!” As always, the Damage Prevention Summit strives to create the environment for stakeholder involvement in identifying best practices or possible solutions to issues that impact public safety and disruption of utility services without regard to utility type.
We had a building filled with winners this year. You can see some of their photos in this issue. If you were one of the record number in 2023, thanks for making it happen. If not, plan to attend next year’s Summit and help us set another record. We’ll be back at L’Auberge, Baton Rouge. The date is already set. Mark your calendars for January 23 – 25, 2024.
Until then, let’s work together to have a record reduction in damages in Louisiana!
