<div dir="ltr">Yes and my sense has been that the group is heavily oriented toward right-of-way issues and thus lots of utilities representation. My personal opinion is that the utility right-of-ways represent important actual or potential habitat and the IVM folks seem to be doing some constructive work to balance the utilities' needs with environmental/sustainability considerations. I would rather see a utility subscribing to IVM than doing some of the slapdash work I was seeing twenty years ago by an unnamed local utility, where they were taking a bad problem and making it worse through poor practices. (Incidentally I believe they have gotten on board with IVM and shown considerable improvement.)
