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 award	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
Special Recognition	for a specific accomplishment advancing the interests of public power
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 which celebrate their 100th anniversary during the year

We welcome written nominations for any of these awards, along with a brief description of the individual’s contributions or achievements. Please feel free to nominate more than one individual for Distinguished Service, NEPPA Service, or Commissioner Service, as multiple awards can be made in these categories. For your information, past recipients of NEPPA awards can be found on the NEPPA website (www.neppa.org).

Please send nominations to the NEPPA office by no later than June 13 (fax: 978.952.7320; e-mail:lbrownell@neppa.org).

We look forward to receiving your nominations!
