Gas Operator
Membership

Overview


The people who know your system best are moving toward retirement, and the people replacing them need years of judgment in a much shorter window. At the same time, safety and regulatory expectations on your operation keep expanding.

Gas Operator Membership meets that with training that reaches your entire workforce instead of an approved short list. Every operating membership includes the SGA Training Subscription for every employee at your company, with no seat limits.

What the Training Subscription Covers

Your membership includes unlimited access for your entire workforce across two delivery formats.

SGA Campus, available 24/7.

On-demand courses your people can take on a night shift, between jobs or during a slow week, without scheduling around a class.

Live instructor-led virtual sessions.

Scheduled sessions taught by practitioners who work in this industry, with unlimited seats for your company.

Both carry PDH certificates and Credly digital badges wherever offered, giving you documentation for compliance records and giving your people credentials they can carry through their careers.

In-person workshops and conferences are priced separately. Subscription holders receive 15% off registration.

Which Category Fits Your Organization


Operating membership includes three categories. All three include the SGA Training Subscription.

Take the 2027 Rates to Your Team
Distribution & Transmission

Distribution members operate gas distribution facilities, or both distribution and transmission facilities. Transmission members operate gas transmission facilities without major distribution facilities.

Municipal

Organizations that own, operate or manage municipally or publicly owned natural gas distribution systems providing gas service to the public. SGA Membership dues are based on meter count.

Gas Supply Marketing

For organizations whose principle gas business is operating as a producer or marketer of natural gas. SGA Membership dues is a flat fee.

Where Your Dues Go

For every member holding the SGA Training Subscription, 90% of the subscription covers training, 10% is dues and none is allocated to lobbying.

Nearly everything your company pays comes back as workforce development.

 

What Comes With Membership Beyond Training

Membership is corporate, so every employee of your company is a member. That opens the rest of what SGA does.

Peer access. Unlimited use of the member directory and members-only online forums, connecting your team to counterparts at 200 operating companies and 300+ industry partners.
