As West Virginia 811 (WV811) wraps up 2024 we are very grateful to all our members and the people who have had us come out this year and provide training for your organizations. You’ve helped us really focus on the things that matter most to you and that will make our training efforts in 2025 even more beneficial.
We are anticipating 2025 will be a banner year for West Virginia 811 and
its membership. I am pleased to announce that next year will be the 45th anniversary of WV811. Of course, we want to take a moment to remember the efforts of those who got it off the ground, those who continued to improve the
services provided and those who worked to grow the membership into what it has become. I am honored to have been given the opportunity to serve as your Executive Director and trust that as we work together going forward, you know how important your feedback is. Let us know how we can best serve you.
Just so you know, we are looking to do more networking events and training classes next year, to build stronger and lasting relationships with you and your company. We hope that you can learn as much from us as we will learn from you.
Be on the lookout for info on upcoming events next year sent by e-mail and postings to our website. Also, you can find us on Facebook under West Virginia 811. Check us out and follow us to stay up with all that will be going on. You are invited to attend each of our quarterly meetings, and they are posted on the WV811 website at www.wv811.com. Click on the resources tab, then select events.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Enjoy some time with your family! Remember, keeping West Virginia a safer place to live and work, makes these holidays more meaningful to those.
Dig Safe!
