Many electric cooperatives observed National Lineman Appreciation Day back on April 8, pursuant to a 2014 directive from the NRECA Board of Directors that sets aside the second Monday in April for the observance. But, today, many other utilities will recognize National Lineman Appreciation Day, due to legislation that cleared the U.S. Senate in 2013. Since there's no such thing as too much attention being drawn to our electric cooperative lineworkers, here are some cute co-op kids who would like to honor the lineworkers of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware's electric cooperatives!
Give your local electric cooperative a call, post on their Facebook page, or make a post on social media and #ThanksALineworker today!
