When a gas emergency happens at 2 a.m., the difference between organized response and chaos is one thing: clear command structure.

The Incident Command System (ICS) provides that framework for real-time coordination across teams and integrating mutual aid crews while managing the incident.

SGA's Emergency Preparation and Response series (June 23 and June 30) teaches you how ICS works specifically for distribution incidents.

Part 1 covers core ICS principles, roles and how to structure mutual aid integration. Part 2 is a working session where you bring your company's response plans and practice with peers.

By the end, your team will have a shared framework that supports safe, fast response when emergencies happen.

Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's what happens when you lack the tools to manage constant pressure.

Janice Litvin spent 20 years in a consulting firm where burnout was the norm. Now she's sharing exactly what worked and what organizations need to do differently.

In this short video, she introduces the complete Banish Burnout series: individual sessions to build your own resilience, plus organizational sessions for leaders who want to prevent burnout from taking root in their teams.

You're a member of SGA. That means you have access to expert-led training covering the full scope of the natural gas industry plus connections to over 30,000 peers throughout the year.

If you're not using those benefits, you're leaving membership value on the table.

SGA Did You Know? is a lunchtime session next Tuesday where we show you how.

It's 30 minutes on how to access year-round, expert-led training, a walkthrough of the networking opportunities available to you, and introductions to the key people at SGA who can answer your questions.

Most members don't realize how much is already included in their membership. This convenient session is your chance to find out.

We extended the Incident Experience Survey deadline to next Friday, June 12.

Companies across the region are still submitting their 2025 safety data. If your company hasn't yet, you now have nearly two weeks to do so.

What changes when you participate:

→ You walk into July's Safety Conference with valuable peer context.
→ You see how your safety investments are translating compared to operators in your size band.
→ You have the language and data to strengthen prevention conversations with your leadership team.

Without it, you're comparing yourself to your own history, not your peers' strategies.

The deadline extension gives you time to pull together your data without rushing.

Submit your company's data here: https://ow.ly/Q0AR50Z6LK1

The natural gas industry continues to make meaningful progress in reducing methane and greenhouse gas emissions through innovation, operational improvements, and a shared commitment to doing better every day.

That progress is central to Natural Gas Now: delivering reliable, affordable energy while continually advancing environmental performance. Across the value chain, companies are deploying new technologies, improving monitoring and measurement, and raising standards to ensure natural gas plays a critical role in today’s energy system and tomorrow’s.

As SGA Chair Shawn Patterson shared, this work reflects the industry’s understanding that reliability and responsibility go hand in hand. By listening, collaborating, and investing in solutions, natural gas professionals are proving that continuous improvement is not just a goal; it’s an expectation.

Natural Gas Now means meeting the energy needs of today while building a stronger, more efficient, and more sustainable future.

Tomorrow is the last day to register for OpsCon and SafetyCon at the early bird rate.

If attending this July has been a consideration, now is the time to act. Members who register before Sunday save up to $300 off standard rates.

OpsCon runs July 22–23. SafetyCon follows July 23–24. The two conferences share July 23 — with a keynote from former Blue Angel Nate "Utah" Scott, the SGA Awards Ceremony and Gas Rocks social event at Brazos Hall.

Today is the last day to add your company's 2024 safety data to the 2025 SGA Incident Experience Survey.

The benchmark report presented at the Safety Conference in July reflects the collective experience of operators across the region. Every dataset strengthens the analysis. Every operator's voice matters.

Last year, participants learned that training intensity correlates with measurable injury reduction, discovered emerging heat-stress risks, and identified collision patterns that most operators weren't tracking in real time.

This year's survey digs deeper into contractor safety management, SIF prevention approaches, and heat stress mitigation strategies already working in the field.

Your data takes 15 minutes. The insight from that data benefits the entire industry.

Complete the survey before midnight: https://ow.ly/i54x50YvRlS

Early bird pricing for OpsCon and SafetyCon ends this Sunday, May 31.

Getting registered before May 31 locks in the lower rate and gives you the most runway for budget approval and travel before the summer schedule fills in.

OpsCon runs July 22–23 and SafetyCon follows July 23–24 in Austin. Members attending both events can register at a combined bundle rate.

You're responsible for pipeline design. But staying current with Part 192 changes, new rupture mitigation valve requirements and TVC documentation standards while managing active projects? That's the challenge.

Most engineers know the fundamentals. What's harder is keeping up with regulatory updates, applying new technologies and ensuring every design decision meets evolving compliance requirements without slowing project timelines.

SGA's Transmission Pipeline Design Workshop runs July 7-10 in Bryan, Texas. Over 3.5 days, you'll work through the complete pipeline design process using a real-life project—from pipe sizing and route selection through post-construction record keeping.

The workshop covers the latest Part 192 changes, including Mega Rule Parts 1 and 2, rupture mitigation valves, pending requirements and what triggers new compliance obligations. You'll work through design conditions, pipe flow sizing, valve settings, branch connections, cathodic protection, hydrostatic test plans and construction specifications.

You'll learn alongside engineers, operations managers and technical service providers working through the same regulatory complexity. Evers & Sons hosts social events throughout the workshop, giving you time to connect with peers outside the classroom.

This is hands-on instruction delivered by industry experts using real-world scenarios. You'll leave with current knowledge you can apply to projects immediately and 26 PDH credits upon completion.

SGA Awards voting closes tomorrow. The finalists are shaped by evaluations from people who actually do this work.

If you've ever balanced safety with deadlines, solved a problem everyone said couldn't be done or mentored someone who's now leading their own team, you're exactly who should be weighing in.

Your perspective is part of what makes the SGA Awards peer recognition meaningful.

Voting closes tomorrow, May 28.
