“Our employees have really become our best communication assets. They help develop our messaging and have really stepped up, both in the office and out in the field, to consistently improve the way we communicate with our customers”, said Kristin Masteller, PUD 1’s general manager. “I especially want to thank Julie Gray for her work on our website and especially on our social media platforms, which earned a perfect score from the judges.”
The Excellence in Communication contest, which recognizes the top communication efforts from Northwest Public Power Association member utilities and associations, turned 26 years old this year and celebrated
