With a BIG and exciting weekend of football ahead of us remember our linemen don't get 4 downs to go ten yards or TV timeouts or coach's challenges... They complete all jobs in a safe, timely and professional manner 100% of the time and do so without fanfare. Here's to all the lineworkers, we see you!
Wishing Jim Regan a wonderful retirement! Today, we celebrate Mr. Regan, a cornerstone of the Braintree Electric Light Department (BELD) for decades.

His dedication has left a lasting legacy, and his retirement marks the end of an era. Though everyone at BELD will miss Jim, we are so grateful for all he has accomplished during his tenure. Take a moment to read about Jim's incredible journey and his contributions to BELD. Please join us in wishing Jim a happy and fulfilling retirement! #Retirement #Gratitude #Leadership #Community #BELDcares #Braintree

It was fantastic to see our IT Division Manager, Jim Boyle, representing us at this year’s Cybersecurity & Technology Summit in Cleveland, Ohio. The event featured many outstanding speakers and exhibitors, and it’s always a pleasure to reconnect with familiar faces at the summit.
The city of Cleveland, Ohio, on America's "North Coast" was the site of two major APPA events this week: our Business & Financial Conference and Cybersecurity & Technology Summit. Many thanks to our host city, Cleveland Public Power, and all the attendees, presenters, sponsors, exhibitors, and members who helped make both these events successful! #PublicPower #CommunityPowered
It was great working with the UMass Boston students from the #BESTBoston program, thanks again for reaching out to us!
Just two summers in, and the BEST Boston program has already made waves across our community. This year, we saw even more UMass Boston students partner with local businesses, driving innovation and real change. What started as a bold idea has quickly grown into a powerhouse for both student success and local economic impact. And we’re just getting started!
