Last week, IAMU sent out a survey to folks who use the IUB EFS (Electronic Filing System) for compliance reporting. The survey is SHORT, and should only take 3 minutes. Please fill out the survey at this link:

“Why should I care about this survey?”

This survey is a crucial chance for IAMU members to impact how the IUB EFS functions in the future, and to make changes that better suit the folks who actually use the EFS (that’s you!). IUB is making a concerted effort to improve the process – this is your chance to help improve the system. Here is a link to the EFS, if you’re wondering which system that is: https://efs.iowa.gov/efs/

Here is a brief message from IUB about why we’re doing this work:

“EFS is currently undergoing an upgrade to bring it to a modern application development base. As part of this modernization, we have the opportunity to address the user interface and experience for our users. The user interface of EFS is everything you see and interact with, including the web pages displayed to you, the font size and layout on screens, the information and columns displayed in search results tables, the buttons used to move around the system, and pretty anything a user does while interacting with the system (viewing, searching, clicking, etc.)”

IAMU wants to make sure we are providing you with the information that you want and need. We have created a short survey to help us better understand your communication needs and preferences. We would appreciate you giving us your feedback. Everyone who completes, provides his/her name, and returns a survey will be entered in a drawing for one of two $50 gift cards.

We are interested in learning from utility members, affiliate members, and associate members.

You may access the survey by clicking here.

Please return survey by January 31, 2020. 

Randy Tilk of Alta Municipal Utilities. Thank you to all of our gas and electric members who recently completed our survey seeking input on current and future demands for hiring utility professionals. We are in the process of compiling the data. We will send out an email summarizing the data to everyone who completed a survey. We will also include an article with the survey results in the next issue of the IAMU Connection magazine, due out in March.
