#ThankaLineman on Lineman Appreciation Day!
April 6th, 2018
Four County EMC as well as electric cooperatives across North Carolina and the nation will recognize the many contributions of our linemen by celebrating Lineman Appreciation Day on Monday, April 9. Join us in thanking the hardworking men and women whose diligent efforts and skilled expertise keep the lights on for our members.
“All our cooperative employees do a phenomenal job every day to serve our members, but we couldn’t carry out our mission without the daily dedication of our linemen,” said Mitch Keel, CEO of Four County EMC. “It’s a demanding job on the front line of our co-op that often requires working around the clock in challenging conditions to serve our members and communities. We can’t thank them enough for all they do.”
Electricity travels along a network of wires and poles to power our homes and businesses. Most of the time this is a seamless journey, but occasionally that connection is interrupted by obstacles like fallen trees and branches, animals or an equipment malfunction and linemen are charged with restoring that connection no matter the weather or time of day.
“Lineman literally bring us through some of our darkest hours, and we count on them to power our lives day in and day out,” Keel said.
On April 9, remember to show your gratitude to our dedicated crews using the hashtag #ThankaLineman!
