i themselm - in hundreds of organizations - to enhance both economic prosperity and quality of life in wamunities. PP&L people are an integral part of the economic, political and social structure of Central Eastern Pennsylvania.
At PP&L, community involvemeni means being a responsible and responsive corporate citizen, it means caring about cultural and civic values in our communities, and operating our business in harmony with those values.
Community involvement means corporate monetary contributions to organizations serving those who live where we serve. It means PP&L people providing leadership roles in L'nited Way campaigns and other community fund raisers; it means making useful community service a part of the lob descriptions of those who work closely with community leaders and economic develop-ment partners; it means encouraging employees to be involtru during their off work hours; and it j . . lt y x f

COMMUNiiY INVOLVEMENT means setting a good example by making community service and involvement a corporate value.
Each year company employees nominate their fellow employees for one of six division cominunity service awards. One of those six is chosen for company wide recognition. Part of those awards include contributions to oraanizations of the winners' choice. Pictured on these pages are many employees who have won, or have been nominated for, those awards. Some have served quietly - without recognition or fanfare - taking their satisfaction in having made a contri-bution toward making someone's day brighter.
These people are the human face of a corporate entity. They certainly aren't all the peo-ple who serve. They are a small representative handful. For every one shown, there are scores more who make important contributions every day of their lives. These people are the essence of community involvement at Pennsylvania Power & Light Co.
