The Great Lakes Electric Meter School (GLEMS)

THE GREAT LAKES ELECTRIC METER SCHOOL (GLEMS)

Originated in 1989 by a committee composed of members of electric utilities, electric utility manufacturers and experts in the utility field.

The mission of the school is to serve as a medium for the exchange of information and techniques to preserve and further improve upon high quality utility service.  The school also fosters professional relationships between company personnel as a means of assuring intra-industry communications.

GLEMS annually offers a variety of courses to meter personnel.  Additionally, the school serves as a clearinghouse for new information and as a rallying point on matters of industry-wide concern.

GLEMS is co-sponsored by Ferris State University.
