Division Senior Manager Tom McCormick in Ozark, Arkansas, and supervisors Keith Masingale and Nick Schwartz along with ambassador and senior technician Josh Yarbrough are always willing to support community partnerships — no matter the day or time.
Special thanks to these leaders for representing Black Hills Energy at weekend dinners to support the Paris and Ozark chambers. Black Hills Energy was nominated for the Ozark Area Chamber of Commerce's Corporation of the Year and Spirit of Giving awards. Keith was elected by chamber members and began serving on this board in the first quarter of 2023. Former ambassador Kim Bennett, operations support specialist, served on the Ozark Chamber of Commerce Board for a number of years. We serve more than 1,500 customers in this community in addition to 1,900 in the Franklin County area. In Logan County, where Paris is one of the county seats, Black Hills Energy serves nearly 1,700 customers. Paris is near Mount Magazine, the highest point in Arkansas.
A spring festival, cardboard boat race and touch-a-truck were among the events our team supported for these chambers last year.
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
