It’s Full Speed Ahead for NUCA’S New Colorado Chapter
 The newly chartered NUCA of Colorado chapter is fired up, thanks to its successful strategic planning retreat held August 21. The chapter’s newly adopted vision says it all: “Be the best association for utility construction in Colorado.” Joining chapter leaders at the retreat was NUCA President Lyle Schellenberg, who shared his chapter development experiences from starting NUCA of Oregon and Southwest Washington 12 years ago.
At the retreat, chapter leaders also adopted a new mission: “Grow membership by providing best-in-class resources, as measured by the satisfaction of our membership.” To accomplish this mission, retreat participants identified major goals and developed action plans to implement immediately. The resulting planning documents will help guide NUCA of Colorado leaders in the coming year, according to Retreat Facilitators Jeff Moore and Jason Miner of Maxim Consulting, Denver.
Since its incorporation earlier this year, NUCA of Colorado has already formed eight committees reporting to its Board of Directors. More than 80 people gathered August 20 in Centennial for the chapter’s second membership event, according to NUCA of Colorado President Jeff Rumer.
