The RMEL Fall Convention started in October of 1903. Since that first meeting, the Fall Convention has grown and evolved into its current form – a relaxed forum for senior management of electric energy companies to gather, network and share information. The primary focus of the Convention is the educational presentations, which range from a CEO’s vision of the industry to a focused presentation on specific technology.

The Convention is a three-day event that begins on a Sunday with a golf outing followed by an evening reception hosted by RMEL Champions. Monday is a full-day of educational presentations ending with an RMEL Champions reception, dinner and the RMEL Foundation Silent Auction. The final day includes the RMEL annual meeting and a half day of presentations. A guest program, awards presentation and plenty of time to relax and network are part of the tradition at the RMEL Fall Convention.

Need-to-know information about the environment, regulations, planning and performance, safety, and plant management solutions were presented at the RMEL Plant Management Best Practices Conference on June 17-18, 2010, at the Pueblo Convention Center in Pueblo, CO. A member roundtable was held on Friday, June 18, and attendees were able to tour Xcel’s new Comanche 3 Station.
