Technology Committee
Overview

The mission of the Technology Committee is to seek, identify and communicate technologies and practices that improve the utility damage prevention process.  With this mission in mind, the Technology Committee welcomes informational presentations during each meeting. 

The Technology Committee was formerly known as the Research & Development Committee.  On July 16, 2010, the CGA Board of Directors approved a committee name change and updated mission statement.  The committee is currently chaired by John Novak (Ohio Utilities Protection Service, johnn@ohioonecall.org) and Isaac Weathers (Georga Utilities Protection Center, iweathers@gaupc.com). 

To become a member of this committee, contact Erika Andreasen at erikaa@commongroundalliance.com).
