NEPPA Seeks Nominations for Awards

Each year, NEPPA seeks to recognize individuals who have made contributions to their utilities, communities and to public power. Award presentations are made during the Annual Conference in August. To help identify these individuals, NEPPA asks its members to submit nominations of worthy candidates. The award categories are as follows:

Person of the Year - for sustained outstanding service and contributions to NEPPA and to public power.

Francis "Skip" Willey Individual Achievement Award - for an employee of a NEPPA system who demonstrates a professional commitment to public power through personal development and participation in NEPPA’s educational programs and other association activities.

Distinguished Service - for outstanding service to a NEPPA utility.

NEPPA Service -for significant contributions to the association.

Commissioner Service - for Commissioners or elected Light Board members who have provided outstanding leadership to their public power systems for three full terms or at least 10 years.

Century Award - for member systems that celebrate their 100th anniversary during the year.

Written nominations for any of these awards are welcome, along with a brief description of the individual’s contributions or achievements. Nominations of more than one individual may be made for the Distinguished Service, NEPPA Service or Commissioner Service Awards. Please send nominations to the NEPPA office by no later than July 8 (fax: 508-482-0932; email: sboone@neppa.org).
