Congrats to Shawn Kelly for being voted as the next NCUCC Secretary. Shawn joined Badger Daylighting seven years ago and was not aware of NC811 and who or what we were. He attended his first meeting in Charlotte of June 2016 after being employed by Badger for a few years and needless to say it was a very interesting meeting with lively conversation. He saw the need for companies to work with utility providers and for all of us to reach our common goal of zero strikes. Over the past seven years he has seen the need to educate not only excavators, but others as well to keep all informed of the severity of what a strike can cause. Shawn oversees four locations in North Carolina as the General Manger of four states and has made it a priority for North Carolina managers and sales staff to attend the meetings. They have actively gained involvement through the annual joint conference each year as well.
Welcome aboard Shawn!
The NCUCC Mission
The North Carolina Utilities Coordinating Committee will provide a forum for utilities, government agencies, and contractors in North Carolina to discuss the impact of planning, engineering, construction, and technology among member organizations. This committee will also serve as a resource for local Utility Coordinating Committees on issues which are better addressed and resolved on a statewide basis. This committee will provide safety, damage prevention and the use of North Carolina 811 for notification of all excavation activity.
