FROM THE EDITOR
B.J. Myers
This month, we turn our focus to powering a brighter future through sustainability, leadership, and service—three key pillars that drive our cooperative and the communities we serve. As a member-owned utility, we are committed to innovative solutions, strong leadership, and a dedication to service that ensures a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
Inside this issue, you’ll find stories about the people and programs making a difference—from lineworkers who keep our lights on safely and efficiently to co-op leaders working toward a smarter, more reliable energy future. You’ll also discover practical ways to save energy and money, including information on rebates, energy monitoring tools, and how fiber technology is supporting a more resilient grid.
This month also highlights the power of member engagement. With the 2025 Board of Directors Election kicking off, your participation plays a vital role in guiding the cooperative’s future. We encourage you to learn about the candidates, cast your vote, and help shape the decisions that impact us all. Be sure to watch the Meet the Candidates video event on Facebook on April 3 to stay informed. If you miss the Facebook premiere, don’t worry, the replay will be available on Facebook, YouTube, and our website.
As always, we celebrate the power of community by highlighting local members, charitable projects, and the value of your voice in cooperative leadership. We hope these stories inspire you to stay engaged, make informed choices, and take part in shaping the future of your co-op.
Thank you for being part of the SEI REMC family—together, we’re building a brighter tomorrow.
