CLINTON POWER PLANT LIVES UNITED

Congrats for taking home regional campaign honor!

"We may be small, but we are mighty..."

-Ann Harris, IBEW Local 1306/Clinton Power Plant ECM

In November, Exelon United Way hosted a system wrap up party, a tradition of more than 60 years.  The celebration took place in Downers Grove and included entertainment from Exelon United Way's band, the "Storyteller" and other guest speakers.  The day-long event was a celebration of the successful Exelon campaigns by division.  Presentations of "Best Kickoff" and "Best Communication" were chosen by each of five divisional campaign managers to award their picks for best plant in their division.  Ann Harris, IBEW Local 1306 member, proudly accepted the honor for leading the "Best Kickoff" at the Clinton Power Plant in the "Nuclear Division."  The highlight of their campaign kickoff was a cake auction that netted over $22,000!  Ann, in her acceptance speech, said, "We may be small, but we are mighty."
