Thanks David and all those that contributed.  We hope to add a few names soon.  One question for
Martha/NRECA - do transgender owners count as Female/women owners?

Thanks to those of you who submitted a few companies, we have gathered enough to start a listing for
the female / minority - owned utility contractor groups as requested by FEMA (see attached).

Martha also suggests checking with your local / state small business administrations and economic
development agencies.  Some of those offices may have utility contractors listed in this category.

As mentioned in my e-mail last month [8/22] when we requested these, we do not intend for this to be
a recommendation or endorsement of any of these businesses.  These are simply qualifying companies
that some of our Co-ops may have received bids from in the past.

I hope this helps.  If anyone else would like to add a contractor group to this list, let me know and
I will take care of it.
