Over the last several months, so many of our favorite in-person gathering places had to pivot in ways few of us could have imagined at the beginning of 2020. We saw sit-down institutions turn to takeout turnabouts for dinner and develop delivery strategies for lunch.

My article last month centered on Indiana’s utility disconnect moratorium and Tipmont’s commitment to help those of you who are struggling with unemployment, reduced hours, or furloughs from the COVID-19 pandemic.

I wrote last
month about
how our delivery
of critical infrastructure
makes
our responsibility
more
important now
than ever. Cooperatives routinely
plan for emergency situations, and
our emergency plan has served us
well in a variety of circumstances
— from ice storms to tornadoes. In
these unprecedented times, we’ve
taken some additional unprecedented
steps to make sure our
team is in place to power your
world.

Earlier this year, I was thrilled to join
Tipmont and Wintek in the role of
business development director. I
was previously with Greater Lafayette
Commerce for 24 years, most
recently as vice president, economic
development. My new role will
build strong relations with existing
and new customers throughout
Tipmont and Wintek’s service area.
I will also be working closely with
the local community leadership to
attract new industry and help create
economic opportunities.
