U2030 is a trusted leadership and organizational transformation support system,
for utility employees and teams.
Clarity. Courage. Connection. Your Journey Starts Here.
At U2030, leadership starts with service. We begin every major event with a hands-on service project and a community donation—because we believe transformation should extend beyond our organizations and into the communities we serve.
These projects aren’t symbolic—they’re intentional acts of impact that ground our work in empathy, remind us who we serve, and bring our members together in a shared purpose.
Whether we’re packing meals, supporting local nonprofits, or contributing to causes aligned with our values, we show up with open hands and full hearts.
Because at U2030, leadership isn’t just about making things better—it’s about making things better for others.

We Don't Just Lead. We Create a Ripple Effect.
The Utility 2030 Leadership Collaborative (U2030) is a professional community of utility leaders dedicated to shared growth—personal, professional, and organizational.
Through Corporate Memberships and Advisory Services, we offer the industry’s only holistic suite of leadership and organizational transformation experiences. Designed for individuals and teams, we spark personal insights, strengthen professional skills, and make the job of leading through change easier, more connected, and more rewarding.
Together, we make better decisions, achieve stronger outcomes, and grow as empathetic, impactful leaders—creating a ripple effect that redefines how utilities and solution providers serve people and the planet for generations to come.
Affordability: It Isn’t About “Them.”
It’s About All of Us.
Nearly one in three Americans struggle to pay their utility bills—with 31% reporting difficulty covering electricity costs in the past year alone. If it’s not affecting you directly, it’s impacting someone you know.
INFLIGHT 2025, brought to you through a partnership with Paymentus, is a dynamic workshop series dedicated to conversations about real-world strategies that reduce cost-to-serve and improve affordability.
Join us on our last stop in Seattle, WA, on September 18, 2025, to discuss what’s working, challenge the status quo, and build a more affordable future—together.
Where Utility Leadership Meets Long-Term Impact.
In today’s high-stakes utility environment, the pressure to transform—at the intersection of customers, employees, and operations—is constant, complex, and deeply human. When pressures mount, it's tempting to rely on what's worked in the past.
But, in a world evolving at an unrelenting pace, yesterday's strategies are not enough to overcome tomorrow’s challenges.
Successful transformation demands clarity, courage, and continuous reinvention – powerfully human leadership.

When the right people, ideas, and energy come together, something powerful ignites. At U2030, our superpower is creating the conditions for that spark—where conversations turn into clarity and insights lead to real-world impact.

It’s exciting work—and we’re grateful to do it every day.
