Season of Giving: Powering Good in Our Communities
• Energy Efficiency • Member Q&A • Trustee Insight
DEAR MEMBERS, As the year draws to a close, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our employees, Trustees, and members for once again demonstrating the true spirit of community. This season reminds us that our greatest power isn’t measured in kilowatts – it’s found in the kindness, compassion, and cooperation we share with others. SECO employees and members came together to brighten the holidays for local families. Our Toys for Tots drive collected hundreds of toys, bringing smiles to children across our service area on Christmas morning. I am especially proud of our employees’ and Trustees’ generosity through this year’s United Way campaign. Collectively, they raised more than $60,000 to help fund vital programs that provide food, shelter, and hope for those in need. That level of giving is a true reflection of the compassion and community spirit that defines our SECO family. Our SECO Energy Foundation also made a meaningful impact this season by distributing grants to local nonprofits and community organizations. These funds support education initiatives, veterans’ services, and family-assistance programs – efforts that strengthen the communities we proudly serve. I want to extend a sincere
thank you to our members who made this possible through Foundation donations and by participating in our round-up program. Your small change continues to create big change across our service territory. These acts of generosity reflect the cooperative principles that guide us – especially Concern for Community and Cooperation Among Cooperatives. Whether it’s our team volunteering time, Trustees giving through the United Way, or members rounding up bills to support local causes, together we’re living out the cooperative difference. This season of giving reminds us why SECO exists – to serve people, not profits. Together, our employees, Trustees, and members have made a real difference in the lives of others, and that’s something we can all take pride in. On behalf of our entire SECO team, thank you for all you do to make our communities brighter. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a new year filled with peace, purpose, and promise. Sincerely,
CURTIS WYNN
