Ambassador of the Year gives to Dolly Parton Imagination Library | Arkansas
library

Longtime Ambassador Janet, an administrative assistant in the Rogers, Arkansas, division, is well known in the company and community for her volunteer work and dedication.  

One of Janet’s favorite organizations is the United Way, so it’s no surprise that she was selected by her peers as the 2021 Arkansas Ambassador of the Year. Janet chose the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library as her nonprofit program contribution. To encourage children to enjoy reading, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library provides free books to children younger than age 5. The United Way of Northwest Arkansas supports families in Benton, Madison and Washington counties.

Christina Hinds and Rhonda Bramell of the United Way of Northwest Arkansas accepted the gift from Janet, who was joined by Robin, Jacob, a new ambassador for the Rogers division, and "Dolly".

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. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
