 Deanna Campbell, Senior Utility Coordinator Deanna Campbell, Senior Utility Coordinator for Lochrane Engineering, Inc., will be involved in a Utility Coordination Certification pilot training class next week. The class is the first module of the Utility Coordination Certification program to be implemented by the Florida Utilities Coordination Committee. The formal release of the class will come in January 2008, but, first, the committee is looking for an evaluation of the class to ensure the highest level of quality.
Ms. Campbell is in her second year as Chairman of the local chapter, known as the Central Florida Utility Coordinating Group. At the pilot training class, she will be one of a select group of 25 people, representing a range of utilities, agencies and consultants. This training concept is the first of its kind nationally so other states and organizations will be looking at the results.
