The InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) recently welcomed a select group of military technicians to PowerTest25, its industry-leading annual conference dedicated to electrical power safety, reliability, and cutting-edge industry innovation. Hosted at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando from March 11–15, 2025, this event united industry leaders, technical experts, and notably service members for five days of learning, networking, and professional recognition.
This year, 20 representatives from NETA Approved Military Organizations (NAMO) participated while actively serving in the armed forces. During the ceremonial Technician Recognition Reception, NETA honored both civilian and NAMO technicians across various certification levels for their excellence, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety and industry standards. These acknowledgments underscore NETA’s mission to bridge the gap between military service and civilian technical advancement, demonstrating that skills gained in the military are directly transferable to critical roles in electrical testing and power system reliability.
Many of the attending NAMO technicians are actively progressing in their certification journey and were presented with a challenge coin to commemorate their success and our appreciation of their dedication to excellence and safety.
Through formal recognition, advanced training opportunities, and a strong culture of collaboration, NETA continues to ensure that our NAMO technicians are well-prepared for impactful careers supporting the safety and reliability of the nation’s power systems, both during and beyond their military service.
To all our NAMO members: Thank you for your service, your hard work, and your continued pursuit of excellence within the electrical testing industry.
