Would you be willing to share it with the Energy Institute of Alabama?’” Kimbro recalled. “He said, ‘They have seen your design and they love it.

Hammett contacted Michael Kelley at the Alabama Rural Electric Association of Cooperatives (AREA), who then called Kimbro with a request. Hammett is both the chairman of the Energy Institute of Alabama and vice president of business development for PowerSouth Energy, the Andalusia-based G&T. Wiregrass shared photos of its appreciation day event on social media, where Seth Hammett took notice. I’d like to have a silhouette of a lineman on a pole, the state of Alabama behind it.’ And that’s what they did for us,” said Kimbro. “I said, ‘Here’s a concept that I would like to have for our Lineman Appreciation Day T-shirt. It began last year when Brad Kimbro, chief operating officer at Wiregrass Electric Cooperative in Hartford, contacted WordSouth, their communications partner.

That’s what happened in Alabama, where folks will soon be able to show their gratitude to lineworkers with a new license plate-the design for which was inspired by a co-op official. One minute you’re thinking aloud about a design for your co-op’s Alabama Lineman Appreciation Day shirt the next, that design is set to grace vehicles throughout the state.

The design on these shirts made for Wiregrass Electric Cooperative’s 2017 celebration of Alabama Lineman Appreciation Day is now on a license plate.
