The Spotlight on Excellence Awards program recognizes exceptional work produced by electric cooperative communication and marketing professionals across the country. In 2023, we introduced a revamped program including 20 revised and new categories reflecting the wide scope and valuable contributions of today's co-op communicators. In 2024, we rolled out more exciting changes based on member feedback.
