Utility Training Classes
Utility Training Classes
Check our Training Calendar for up-to-date information and to register for classes.
NOTE: Board members should be well-versed in utility training requirements. MTAS does not track or maintain progress towards meeting these requirements. However, we do provide documentation of completed MTAS training and identify sessions most applicable to utility board governance.
It is the responsibility of board members to maintain their own documentation of completed training and continuing education. The Comptroller’s Office provides an annual training statement to simplify this process. Board members should provide a copy to their municipality and keep the original for their records.
