Arkansas chamber presents award
Diamond Member award

Senior Manager Mark Calhoun and Supervisor Jose Contreras from our Rogers, Arkansas, Division recently accepted a Diamond Member Award from the Siloam Springs, Arkansas, Chamber of Commerce.

The award was presented during the chamber’s First Friday Coffee event at Jet Stream, a pipe supplier in Siloam Springs.

The Diamond Member Award was given in recognition of a 40-year partnership between our utility and the Siloam Springs chamber, which supports nearly 6,700 residential and commercial customers in Siloam Springs as well as nearby Benton County communities.

This year Black Hills Energy is also a sponsor for the Siloam Springs chamber's annual meeting, an after-hours networking event, First Friday Coffees for a quarter and an honor graduate luncheon.

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 FacebookInstagram, LinkedInTwitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
