Manager’s Message – November 2025

Honor & Reflection

November provides us with 2 significant opportunities to reflect: Thanksgiving and Veterans Day.

On November 27, Thanksgiving Day, many of us will pause and give thanks with loved ones. We will take time to enjoy food with family, friends, and even strangers. Some of us will gather to give our time to serve others. Thanksgiving provides many opportunities to spend a day with one another in an intentional way.

Another opportunity each year to reflect and give thanks is November 11. Our country would not have the freedom it does without the sacrifice of our veterans. My first priority is to pause and say thank you to our members who have given their time to serve and sacrifice for our country. At Northern Lights, we appreciate your patriotism, love of our country, and the sacrifices you made, or make, for the common good.

We also appreciate the sacrifice of each family with a loved one who has served, or is currently serving, in our armed forces. You are also making huge sacrifices with the absence of your loved one. We know many will celebrate both of these holidays while service members are away.

I am proud of our Northern Lights family members who have served our country. I thank our Northern Lights Board Directors, Jim Woodward and Jill Vandegrift, and Northern Lights employees Cody Bradshaw and Trevor Kelly for their service.

While you take the time to think about the things you are thankful for, I want to thank you, our members, who support public power.

Enjoy the Thanksgiving season!
