This post is part of our Volunteer Recognition series

Just over a month after the 70th Annual Gas Operations School, we are pleased to recognize the Gas Operations School (GOS) Committee, the committee that makes the Northeast's premier gas training event possible year after year.

The GOS Committee is responsible for determining and developing the agenda, sessions, tracks, speakers, and activities that make the Gas Operations School so special. This year, the GOS supported the launch of a brand new track, the Utility Business Operations Track, as well as the successful launch of the Tech Demos, which took helped add an exciting new learning opportunity to the exhibit hall.

The GOS Committee is made up of representatives from the utility members as well as the vendors and contractors who make the school possible. The GOS Committee features several subcommittees responsible for developing the agendas for each individual track.

If you are interested in learning more about the GOS Committee, contact NGA's Emily Keyes at ekeyes@northeastgas.org
