Under his leadership, the company was able to make progress on initiatives that advanced energy solutions, improved infrastructure resilience, and enhanced staff engagement.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mr. Washington was known for his unwavering dedication to community engagement and advocacy for the industry. He believed in the importance of connecting with stakeholders and fostering collaboration to address the evolving challenges in energy production and distribution.

Our thoughts and condolences are with Mr. Washington’s family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time. We recognize the tremendous loss felt by the entire NV GEBE team and the communities they serve. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his kindness, dedication, and passion for the electric utility industry.

We encourage all members of the electric utility community to reflect on Troy’s contributions and to carry forward his commitment to excellence in service, sustainability, and innovation.

Yesterday, we held a live conference edition of the Beyond the Wire series on the topic “The Art of Impactful Communication in the World of AI” during the Human Resources, Corporate Communications, and Customer Service Conference Conference.

The feature Guest, Ms. Danique Zimmerman, Senior Communications Advisor, from Aqualectra, Curacao.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, communication is evolving rapidly, and AI is reshaping the landscape, but the human touch remains irreplaceable. The Beyond the Wire fireside chat explored what makes communication truly impactful. We spoke on how the definition of “effective communication” has changed in the digital age and how to keeping messaging human in an AI-driven world.

Danique also took a different approach to get AI technology to answer some of the questions posed during the fireside. The key takeaway, humans bring heart. That connection can never be replaced by technology, and as communicators, we must always ensure that empathy, connection, and energy come through in our messaging.

The session was moderated by CARILEC's Assistant Member Services Manager, Chelsa Jongue.

Can AI ever replace human judgment in communications? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
