Paulding Putnam Electric Co-op with Dustin Carnahan
Dustin Carnahan, a student at the University of Toledo was recently presented with the Cooperative Intern Scholarship awarded by the Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives Inc.
Carnahan was an intern with Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative this past summer working with the Accounting Department and receives a $1,600 award for winning the scholarship.
Among the work he completed during his internship was the organization of the storm-related paperwork following the June 29 derecho storm that left most of the Paulding-Putnam service territory without power. This work was extremely important for the cooperative in applying for reimbursement for storm-related work from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Carnahan is in his senior year at the University of Toledo. He will graduate with a major in Accounting and minor in Finance.
The Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives Inc., based in Columbus, is a service organization for the 24 electric distribution cooperatives in the state and each co-op is eligible to nominate an intern for the scholarship.
George Carter, CEO/General Manager and James Brown, Director of Finance, presented Dustin Carnahan with the scholarship.
Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative is a Touchstone Energy ® Cooperative. Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative serves 12,900 member/consumers in northwest Ohio and northeast Indiana.
