Current or former employees of NWPPA member utilities are eligible to receive this award. The NIC Planning Committee selects recipients based on accomplishments through at least 10 years of marketing and communication experience; at least 20 years of service to the industry; and promotion of public power through efforts such as community service. Recent recipients include Theresa Phillips of Lassen Municipal Utility District (2023), Libby Calnon of Hood River Electric & Internet Co-op (2022), and Lena Wittler of Clark Public Utilities (2021).
