This morning, SWEC and several emergency response teams from the area are holding a safety training on the south side of Buffalo.
Trainings like these are crucial in helping us prepare for various situations we might encounter. They make us all safer and better prepared for the future.

On Friday, we celebrated Kevin Holt's 37 year career.🎉 When Kevin joined SWEC, he started at our J7 office as a member service representative, where he worked for over four years. He then transferred to Bolivar, taking on the role of warehouse/materials clerk.🔩 Kevin's dedication to cost-saving measures and ensuring our team was always well prepared was invaluable. We will greatly miss his immense knowledge and his positive attitude. We wish him the best in retirement! Congratulations, Kevin!🎉😄
