In partnership with Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, we\u2019re excited to announce the launch of the #WhoPowersYou contest. Because we know it\u2019s more than just electricity that powers communities, we believe it\u2019s important to recognize the people who power our co-op community. As a member of Paulding Putnam Electric Co-op (PPEC), you can play a major role in making the #WhoPowersYou contest a success.<\/p>\n
This contest is designed to celebrate local heroes. It\u2019s a chance for our co-op members and employees to nominate someone who\u2019s making a difference in our community, and an opportunity to celebrate the power of human connections.<\/p>\n
And the best part\u2026. Nominees could win up to $5,000.<\/p>\n
All prizes total $9,000, with the grand prize winner receiving $5,000. The rest of the prices are as follows: second place – $2,000, third place – $1,500, and honorable mention – $500.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how you can help:<\/p>\n
Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to nominate someone by November 4, 2017. (Only Paulding Putnam Electric members and employees are eligible to make nominations.)<\/p>\n
Nominate someone who deserves to be honored (Paulding Putnam Electric employees are not eligible to be nominated.)<\/p>\n
