Lineman Appreciation Day

2015 NRECA Board Res­o­lu­tion

“Where­as line­men leave their fam­i­lies and put their lives on the line every day to keep the pow­er on; Where­as line­men work 365 days a year under dan­ger­ous con­di­tions to build, main­tain and repair the elec­tric infra­struc­ture; Where­as line­men are the first respon­ders of the elec­tric coop­er­a­tive fam­i­ly, get­ting pow­er back on and mak­ing things safe for all after storms and acci­dents; and Where­as there would be no elec­tric coop­er­a­tives with­out the brave men and women who com­prise our corps of line­men; There­fore be it resolved that NRECA rec­og­nize the Sec­ond Mon­day of April of each year as Nation­al Line­man Appre­ci­a­tion Day and make avail­able to elec­tric coop­er­a­tives, mate­ri­als and sup­port to rec­og­nize the con­tri­bu­tions of these valu­able men and women to America’s Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tives.”

On April 10, we’re cel­e­brat­ing the amaz­ing linework­ers who pow­er our lives! Coastal Elec­tric is proud to rec­og­nize our local line crews and all util­i­ty linework­ers across the U.S. #ThankA­Linework­er #Linework­er­Ap­pre­ci­a­tion­Day
