What a fantastic day we had yesterday hosting the Member Support/ Customer Service Regional Meeting! We had a great time networking with our sister cooperatives, chatting with WWV's CEO, and getting insights from our linemen about their daily routines. Participants even enjoyed participating in a hands-on demo! We also discussed the importance of cybersecurity and AI, wrapping up with round table discussions. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this event a success! #Networking #Cooperatives #Community

A huge shoutout to Brad Wildman & Clay Smith for spending the entire day engaging with students and sharing their experiences as linemen. A special thank you to Randy Ballinger, Mary Jo Thomas, Derrick Mullins, and Melody Lynch from WWVREMC for joining us throughout the day and making the event even more special.

This week, our team came together for an enriching and impactful all-employee training day. 🚀 We kicked things off by diving deep into the lifecycle of an outage, equipping ourselves with the knowledge and skills to respond quickly and effectively when things go awry. Being proactive in handling challenges is essential to maintaining a smooth operation, and we’re better prepared because of it. Next, we had the privilege of learning active shooter response strategies from the amazing Jon Elkins His expertise and guidance on how to protect ourselves and others in such critical situations were invaluable. Safety will always be our top priority. In the afternoon, we shifted gears to focus on strengthening our company culture, with the brilliant Michael Craciunoiu, PCC leading activities that foster collaboration, trust, and a positive environment. It’s days like these that remind us how lucky we are to be part of a team that values both growth and connection. Grateful for this learning opportunity and the incredible people who make our team stronger every day. Let’s keep building and growing together! 💪
