Our Linemen Rodeo team is back home from the International Lineman’s Rodeo in Kansas City! ⚡
Representing STEMC this year were journeymen Elijah Stearns, Kevin Austin and Logan Barber, along with apprentices Austin Crawford, Gavin Watkins, Luke Perkins and Gabe Wellentin.
Sean Joyner, Jamie Bethune and Ben Cupples also represented STEMC as judges, with Michael Russell serving as our management representative.
While we didn’t bring home any trophies this year, we’re still proud of our guys for putting in the work, competing alongside linemen from across the country and representing Southwest Tennessee Electric so well.
Great job to everyone who participated! We’re proud to have you on our team! 👏⚡ ...

This week, Southwest Tennessee Electric employees volunteered at several organizations across our service area in celebration of Co-op Day of Service, an initiative that brings electric cooperatives across Tennessee together to give back to the communities they serve. Today, October 15, marks Co-op Day of Service!
On Tuesday, employees volunteered with RIFA Jackson, packing snack bags for students in Madison County Schools who need supplemental meals over the weekend. Others spent time at Chickasaw State Park with Friends of Chickasaw, helping prepare Christmas lights for Lighting of the Park, a community tradition that is free to attend and donation-based.
On Wednesday, employees volunteered at The Mustard Seed in Brownsville, helping organize the store. Proceeds from The Mustard Seed support individuals and families in need throughout Haywood County.
On Thursday, employees volunteered at the City of Munford Senior Center, repainting faded parking lot lines, weeding flower beds and spreading mulch. In Covington, employees served lunch at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region (Covington). They also enjoyed watching the kids perform their dances and playing basketball games with them!
We’re proud of our employees for taking time out of their week to give back and support the organizations that make our communities stronger. This is what Connecting with Purpose is all about — showing up, lending a helping hand and making a difference in the lives of others.
At Southwest Tennessee Electric, we’re proud to do more than keep the lights on. We’re here to help power thriving communities and enhance the quality of life of every member we serve. ...

⚡ From the office to the field!⚡
Last Christmas season, our Corporate Office brought in the most toys for our Toys for Tots donation drive, earning the team the chance to vote for a member of our leadership team to take on a job outside their usual day-to-day duties. By majority vote, Scott Sims, Vice President of Finance & Member Services, traded his office for a bucket truck and became a lineman for a day! 👏
With guidance from our lineworkers and our Safety Coordinator on site, Scott got a hands-on look at the work our crews do every day to keep the lights on for our members. All lines were confirmed grounded and de-energized, keeping safety at the forefront throughout the experience.
At Southwest Tennessee Electric, this is what it’s all about: people and safety. It’s about learning from one another, understanding the work happening across our cooperative, and making sure every employee has the knowledge and support they need to do their job safely. No matter our role, we’re all working toward the same goal: serving our members and taking care of one another.
We’re thankful for a team that gives back, looks out for each other, and is always willing to learn something new. And we’re glad Scott was a good sport! ⚡💚 ...
