The Best Place to Gather New Ideas
Here's what past attendees have to say about CONNECT:
"It's the best place to gather new ideas, learn about issues impacting the industry, and find out how other communicators across the country are handling similar issues."
Brian Lacy, Manager of Communication and External Affairs, Cullman Electric Cooperative
"It is the best conference I have attended that provides practical ways to implement programs or projects to help your co-op move up to the next level."
Nory Callaway, Manager of Key Accounts, Concho Valley Electric Cooperative Inc.
"It's an exceptional learning and networking experience. You never know precisely what you'll get, because each year is unique. But you do know it will be relevant and worthwhile."
Joe Richardson, Vice President of Communications, Southwestern Electric Cooperative
"You have to GO!! It was a great experience! No one should miss this opportunity!"
Patrice Jordan, Coordinator, Community Relations and Engagement, Roanoake Electric Cooperative
CONNECT with the Community
Before, during and after the CONNECT Conference, co-op communicators, marketers and customer service pros have the opportunity to give back to the community through donations to the Rocky Mountain Fisher House. The Fisher House provides free lodging to active duty military, veterans and their families while a loved one is undergoing medical treatment at an approved facility in the area. The Fisher House is currently building a new, larger home to welcome service members. You can demonstrate your Commitment to Community by donating cash or gift cards onsite or online.
