Do you know someone who goes above and beyond to make your community a better place? Maybe they’ve poured their time and energy into helping a local nonprofit thrive, assisted those in need or spearheaded a community project that has made life better for everyone.
Minnesota’s electric cooperatives are partnering with the Minnesota Touchstone Energy Group in launching the Cooperative Heroes Award across the state, which provides an opportunity for anyone served by an electric cooperative to nominate an individual who has made meaningful, positive impact in their community.
The Cooperative Heroes Award celebrates Minnesota’s cooperative values — integrity, innovation, reliability, accountability and commitment to community. Judges will evaluate nominees for these qualities as they select three winners.
Each winner will receive a cash award to be directed to a local nonprofit or cause of their choice: First place $1,000; second and third place: $500 each. Nominations are open from through Nov. 15.
