Keeping the Lights On
Steve Freese, WECA President and CEO

Most of us think nothing of it when we walk into a room and flip the switch—the light goes on. That’s reliability, and it means security and safety for our communities. Most people don’t know that keeping the power on and restoring it quickly in times of inclement weather is a complex, challenging, and at times dangerous responsibility that never stops. A lineworker’s job is not only essential; it is critical to our health and safety, our economy, and our everyday life. NRECA has set the second Monday in April each year to be recognized as Lineworker Appreciation Day, but we applaud our lineworkers every day of the year.
