JEA receives Golden Apple Award

hen Isaac Lane Elementary School has a need, it often turns to Jackson Energy Authority, its Partner in Education. JEA has responded so many times over the past school year that it received a Golden Apple Award from the Jackson Chamber. “I work very closely with the principal all through the year to find out how JEA can help,” said Janet Wilbanks, JEA Public Relations Coordinator.

About 50 or more JEA employees also participate in the Lunch Buddy Program that is coordinated by Chrissy Vandiver, Benefits Coordinator. Employees eat lunch with students and provide good role models. Janet said she gives a “huge thank you” to Tommy Bowman. “I reach out to him quite often to pick up items for our PIE Partner, and he takes them right to the school.” She added, “I consider it a privilege and an honor to work for an organization like Jackson Energy Authority … a company that demonstrates giving back to the community.”
