2009 SPOTLIGHT ON<br />
EXCELLENCE AWARDS<br />
Kaua‘i <strong>Island</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>Cooperative</strong> (KIUC) recently took top honors in the<br />
2009 “Spotlight on Excellence” national awards program, sponsored by<br />
the Council of Rural Electric Communicators and the National Rural<br />
2007<br />
Electric <strong>Cooperative</strong> Association. KIUC received both a first-place Award<br />
of Excellence in the Best Annual Report Category for “2007 Annual<br />
Report, Thinking Beyond the Barrel” and an Award of Merit in the Best<br />
External Newspaper or Magazine Category for “KIUC Currents.”<br />
The Spotlight on Excellence awards competition is an annual event recognizing<br />
the top-rated communication and marketing efforts by electric cooperatives and<br />
related organizations.<br />
THINKING BEYOND THE BARREL<br />
“The judges’ descriptions of this year’s entries ranged from ‘extraordinary’ to<br />
‘impressive,’” said Maggie Tilley, administrator of Spotlight on Excellence. “The<br />
consistent comment was that consumers are being well-served by<br />
communications that seek to inform and to add value for co-op members.”<br />
Electric cooperative communicators and marketing professionals submitted more<br />
than 700 entries to the Spotlight on Excellence program, now in its 21st year.<br />
