UMI Knowledge

The Utility Management Institute (UMI) is a NADBank initiative designed to strengthen the management and leadership capabilities in public institutions along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Through cutting-edge training programs and seminars, participants gain extensive knowledge on managing public services, including best practices and innovative tools to boost the efficiency and impact of their organization.

With over 25 years of experience, UMI has trained more than 3,000 public sector professionals through in-person programs and, more recently, virtual seminars.

UMI programs and seminars are designed for public officials, mid-level and higher, involved in providing any type of public service—including drinking water and wastewater services, waste collection and disposal, power generation and supply, stormwater management, public transportation and roadway maintenance, among others. Professionals from any public institution or sector, as well as independent consultants, are invited to participate, learn and interact with fellow service providers.

While the main focus of UMI is the U.S.-Mexico border region, thanks to the online format, anyone anywhere can register to participate in the programs and seminars.

Participation in UMI programs and seminars is free of charge.
