Today's #MentorMoment is the collaboration of a couple industry veterans: Regional VP Dean Laube and Manager of Client Marketing Danna Perry. With neither being known for their serious nature, they describe the mentorship like this: "Dean is pretty fun to hang around with, and he actually has multiple opinions on just about everything. It usually seems like we have no particular place to go, but we always end up getting there." Danna adds, "No matter how much I throw at him, nor how much variety in the topics we cover, Dean is always helpful, and our meetings are overflowing with purpose."

While we span the entire country, our headquarters is located in Wisconsin—so we know a thing or two about cold weather. And we're pretty proud of the heat pump programs we implement across the country. That's why we're so excited about The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)'s new report that outlines electric utility rate reforms to keep heat pumps cost-effective for households AND utilities—even in some of the coldest U.S. states! #heatpumps #energyefficiency https://bit.ly/4iiRurQ
