National Lineman Appreciation Day

EREC and Touchstone Energy Cooperatives across the nation are recognizing April 18, 2014, as National Lineman Appreciation Day to honor the hardworking men and women who work often in challenging conditions to keep the power on.

We are recognizing all electric linemen for the services they perform around the clock in dangerous conditions to keep the power on and protect the public’s safety.

“Electric linemen do not often receive the recognition they deserve,” said Clay Campbell, General Manager/CEO. “They work all hours of the day, often in hazardous conditions far from their families, going above and beyond to restore power to their communities. Our linemen, as well as linemen from all across the nation, truly deserve this special day of recognition.”

EREC invites members to take a moment to thank a lineman for the work they do. Use #ThankaLineman to show your support for the men and women who light our lives.
