Michael Howe, Community Affairs Manager, Wyoming
When Casper, Wyoming's, Economic Development Agency, Advance Casper, decided to forgo its quarterly breakfast meeting due to COVID-19, and then chose to not hold yet another virtual meeting, the group decided a socially distanced golf outing might be just what its members needed.
Black Hills Energy stepped up and sponsored the boxed breakfast as well as a hole. Playing in the golf outing were Lori Neibauer, Casper operations supervisor; Will Maxwell, construction planning manager; Jesse Henderson, damage prevention coordinator; and Michael Howe, community affairs manager.
Even though the event was outside, there was significant emphasis on social distancing and other COVID-19 safe practices.
