Outage Communications Leadership Council

Proactive Contact Drives Customer Confidence

Customers rarely call to tell you how great things are going. However, during a power outage customers expect proactive communication from their utility.

Chartwell’s Outage Communications Leadership Council enables utility industry professionals to explore insights and best practices in communicating with customers, employees, and other stakeholders during power outages. An Outage Communications Council membership will help you lead your utility with valuable tools, including:

  • Peer-to-Peer Collaboration: Join roundtable discussions with industry leaders on the latest issues impacting the industry.
  • Council-Only Networking Events: Attend monthly video conference calls, an annual virtual meeting, and an annual face-to-face meeting promoting in-person collaboration with industry leaders.
  • Connect & Collaborate: Leverage a rich network of industry leaders who meet monthly to ensure they are finding the most effective and efficient solutions to their problems.

Our shared cost model means you gain access to best practice strategies, tactics and thinking you would expect to find at a top consulting firm at a fraction of the investment. Council membership means your utility will never have to make decisions in a vacuum again.
