White House Rural Economic Forum Draws Electric Coop Participants
Several coop representatives and CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Glenn English participated in the White House Rural Economic Forum held in Peosta, Iowa. The forum included President Obama, members of his cabinet, and a group of small business owners, farmers, rural organizations, all of whom discussed the twin goals of economic development and job creation in rural America. Participation of coop representatives created an opportunity to showcase the hard work of coops to foster both of these goals. The NRECA press release has more information.
