Guided by our cooperative commitment to community, Midland Power members are encouraged to participate in the statewide Shine the Light contest to celebrate local volunteers.
Sponsored by Touchstone Energy Cooperatives of Iowa, the contest will accept nominations beginning June 1st and select three winners, each of whom will receive a $3,000 donation to their local charity or nonprofit.
“We’ve been truly inspired by the growth of this contest in our first five years,” remarked Erin Campbell, director of communications for the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives. “We’re excited to once again give out three charity donations of $3,000 each this year to recognize local volunteer efforts across the state.”
Last year, Midland Power members nominated six area volunteers whose stories were featured in the November/December issue of Energy Insider.
Member-owners and employees of Iowa’s electric cooperatives are eligible to nominate local volunteers, and the volunteer being nominated does not need to be a co-op member. Minors may be nominated with consent from their parents or legal guardians. Nominees from previous years can be nominated again for another chance to win.
