At the 81st annual Quarter Century Club reception, 19 Citizens Energy Group employees were honored for their years of service to the utility.  

The following individuals were inducted into this prestigious club on the evening of May 23 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, in recognition of their 25 years of dedication to Citizens and its customers: **Vincent Brady, Michael Butler, Vanessa Cook, Gary Franklin, Scott Herbertz, Randall Higginbotham, Tony Keen, Dale Koch, Anthony Linville, John Marcum, Mark Morgan, Frank Neil, Kenneth Sanders, Warren Smith, Joseph Stone, Mark Umphress, Jeremiah Ward, Jeffrey Watson, and Daniel Wyatt.** 

This year marks the return of the Quarter Century Club reception, which was briefly paused in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 related shutdowns. Employees who reached the 25-year milestone in 2022 were celebrated at the reception, and inductees from 2020 and 2021 were recognized, as well. The event includes an induction ceremony and a dinner to celebrate the new inductees. 

**Tracye George**, Systems Support Specialist III and Quarter Century Club alum, reflected on the evening: “It was such an honor to be at the Quarter Century Club event last night. I was able to see two of my longtime coworkers inducted into a club that honors people for their loyalty, dedication, and longevity. Due to the pandemic, this event had been postponed for the last two years. But last night the ones who missed this special event for the past two years were also asked to stand and be recognized. This was very thoughtful and special indeed.  

I also enjoyed seeing past coworkers who have retired. Last night allowed us to have such a wonderful time catching up with one another over tasty food and drinks in a beautiful atmosphere. I am looking forward to next year’s Quarter Century Club event!”
