Lake Region Electric Cooperative

We are celebrating Journeyman Lineman Casey today! When Casey started at Lake Region four years ago, he was an apprentice lineman. Through the years, Casey has spent his time studying, taking certification tests, learning from others, and putting in the hours needed to earn his journeyman title. Casey's hard work has paid off, and this morning, we celebrated his achievement by presenting him his official certification. We are so proud of Casey and congratulate him on this great achievement! 🥳👏
