Preparing for the Future
FreeState Assistant General Manager  Chris Parr  has completed an intensive program in electric utility management. The  Robert I. Kabat Management Internship Program (MIP)  is a series offered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin.

FreeState Electric Cooperative makes safety a priority, whether it’s the safety of employees or members. On March 14 and 15, Kansas Electric Cooperatives, Inc. partnered with FreeState to host a regional “Speak Up! Listen Up!” seminar where cooperative team members from northeast Kansas could evaluate and improve safety performance and create an even safer workplace.

FreeState Electric Cooperative recently joined NRECA’s Commitment to Zero Contacts initiative launched in April 2018 to combat an alarming rate of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) among co-op lineworkers. A nationwide survey of 51,000 co-op employees conducted annually between 2006 and 2015 found an average of more than 23 SIFs each year.


Use caution this spring when dumping gravel or rock to repair driveways. Trucks can get tangled in the overhead lines and cause costly damage or serious injury. Please look up before you lift up!
Energy Use Coordinator Matt Lambert will answer questions about energy efficiency, renewables, co-op programs, and everything in between. Email Matt your question and it may be featured in Kansas Country Living or The Signal. FreeState will not use your name if your question is answered in print or online unless you specifically request us to do so.
