(NEWPORT, WA) – With over thirty years of experience in the
utility industry, Kevin Conway has joined Pend Oreille County PUD as the
Compliance and Training Manager.
Conway spent nine years as Vice President of Operations at
Intellibind Technologies LLC, a consulting service that supports utilities in
meeting North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards.
Conway has also worked for the Grand Coulee Hydro Electric Authority, NERC and
Grant County Public Utility District.
Conway’s experience will build on the success of the PUD’s
Compliance program to ensure national and state level requirements are met. He
will also play a key role working with each department within the PUD on
required compliance training and professional development.
“Despite its rural character, the PUD in fact owns and
operates a complex interconnected system made up of generation and transmission
facilities—and takes the associated compliance responsibilities very serious,”
said Colin Willenbrock, PUD General Manager. “Kevin and his years of experience
will be critical in helping the District continue to meet its reliability and
security obligations.”
Conway fills the vacant position after the former manager
left to take another job with a consulting company.
Conway has a son, twin daughters, seven grandchildren and another on the way. He enjoys riding his motorcycles, hunting, fishing and watching hockey.
