In this Year in Review episode, UTC President & CEO Rusty Williams looks back on 2025 — a year defined by The Power of Us — and highlights how UTC advanced advocacy, strengthened member programs, expanded global engagement, and successfully balanced the organization’s budget.

Rusty shares major accomplishments across conferences, industry leadership, communications, and member collaboration — while also candidly addressing areas where UTC plans to grow further in 2026, including education, membership, and program development.

Looking ahead, he introduces UTC’s 2026 mantra — IMPACT — centered on innovation, mission focus, partnerships, accountability, collaboration, and trust. Rusty also outlines four strategic priorities for the coming year:

  • Financial growth across programs and membership
  • Enhancing the member experience
  • Expanding education and professional development through UTC Academy
  • Strengthening UTC’s role as an industry leader in advocacy and technology

Whether you’re a member, partner, or industry stakeholder, this episode offers an open, forward-looking view of UTC’s mission to support utilities and critical infrastructure organizations worldwide.
