Shine the Light: Nominate a Local Volunteer by June 30!
Do you know someone in our community who deserves to be recognized for making a difference? Nominate them for the Shine the Light contest by June 30 and they could win $3,000 for their local charity or non-profit.
“We’re excited to participate in this statewide effort to celebrate our cooperative commitment to community,” said Jeremy Richert, MVEC CEO. “There are so many wonderful volunteers throughout our service area who deserve
to be recognized.”
Sponsored by the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives of Iowa, this is the fourth year of the Shine the Light contest, which celebrates the people who make our communities better. Three winners will be announced in September and each will receive a $3,000 donation for their charity or nonprofit. The winners will also be featured in the September issue of Iowa Electric Cooperative Living magazine.
How to Nominate
Member-consumers and employees (current and retired) of Iowa’s electric cooperatives are eligible to nominate local volunteers. If you receive electricity or fiber internet from MVEC, you’re a co-op member-consumer and we encourage you to nominate someone who is making a positive impact in the community. The volunteer being nominated does not need to be a co-op member-consumer. Minors may be nominated with consent from their parents or legal guardians.
Go to www.IowaShineTheLight.com by June 30 to make a nomination and to review the contest rules. Nominators will need to provide basic contact information and answer this question. In 500 words or less, your nomination answer should creatively showcase how your nominee has positively impacted your community and how their local charity/nonprofit might use the $3,000 donation.
