Education at Your Office

RMEL’s educati on structure makes it easy for anyone in the electric energy industry to fi nd con-tent relevant to your interests by categorizing programming, resources and benefi ts by secti on. In each secti on, parti cipants can fi nd: annually scheduled CORE EVENTS that allow for planning ahead; ELECTIVES to stay ahead of industry trends; this COURSE CATALOG of events to bring to your offi ce; ROUNDTABLES that allow parti cipants to discuss vital issues and help RMEL assess member prioriti es for future programs; and ONLINE RESOURCES available wherever you are.

Bring an RMEL workshop to your locati on or region. The Catalog contains a list of popular, successful events taught by an instructor with which RMEL has previously contracted.
