Satilla REMC Foundation and Altamaha Technical College Partners in Education

Members of the Satilla REMC Foundation Board and EMC Board of Directors met with Altamaha Technical College representatives Wednesday, December 15th, to award a $5,000 educational advancement contribution.

Funding for the contribution was made possible through the voluntary contributions of the Members who buy electricity from Satilla REMC.  The purpose of the contribution was to get needed but unavailable funds into the technical colleges within the nine-county area that Satilla REMC serves and to enhance the educational process for as many students as possible.

Dr. Lorette Hoover, President of Altamaha Technical College, thanked the Members of Satilla REMC and those attending the presentation.  She remarked, “The contribution is timely, needed, and certainly appreciated since the technical colleges of Georgia have undergone recent cuts in their local education budget.  The funds will be used to support student and program success through equipment purchases, student scholarships, and other technical program projects that advance the work of the college.”  Hoover also noted that the “Members of Satilla REMC have invested more than $65,000 toward the educational futures of students who attend Altamaha Technical College.”

Satilla officials commented that the Satilla REMC Foundation is proud to partner with Altamaha Technical College to provide additional educational opportunities to students attending technical colleges in its nine-county service area.
