Your cooperative is proud of all those who competed in this years contest. The future looks bright for all of us with these up and coming leaders! We are committed to the Communities we serve and are excited to see these kids get this opportunity. We could not make this happen without the dedication to the program that the teachers in the schools we serve show. They validate us and encourage their students to participate, and for that we are forever grateful.
Working together, being a part of the Community and serving safe, reliable and affordable power is something we strive to do daily.
