Hook, President of Western Electrical Services, received NETA's Outstanding Achievement Award in recognition of his commitment to NETA and leadership through service to the association. One specific accomplishment highlighted during the ceremony was the role he played in the recent restructuring of NETA’s certification exam.
“We were at a crossroads with the exam, and we needed a leader to guide us through NETA’s single largest project in the history of the association. Dan was that leader, and he did a fantastic job. We could not have completed the exam project without him, and everyone should be forever grateful for his efforts,” says Ron Widup, a member of NETA’s Board of Directors and CEO of Shermco Industries.
The Alliance Achievement Award was presented to Sheppard, vice president of business development for Intellirent. This award honors an individual who has been a dedicated supporter of NETA and has also furthered the industry and inspired others. One particular accomplishment was the creation of the curriculum for the new NETA Electrical Power Testing Technician (EPTT) program.
“The greatest challenge we have in our space is a lack of qualified and experienced people. My sincere compliments and appreciation to Bob for doing something about it. He embraces the true spirit and purpose of the NETA organization,” says Dave Gibson, Principal at Intellirent.
