Big milestone alert! 🎉 This month, we’re celebrating Randy Brommer’s 35 years with Northeastern REMC!
Randy started as a vehicle washer and became a full-time meter reader in 1989. (Remember when people read your meters? ✍️). He has since worked as a locator and has been a Receiving and Inventory Control Technician since 2010.

His dedication, expertise, and hard work have been invaluable to our team and an inspiration to us all. Join us in thanking Randy for 35 incredible years and his lasting contributions to our community. Here’s to you, Randy! 👏
