Dear Fellow Stakeholders,

Tracy and I have been blessed with nine grandchildren, each with unique personalities, talents and perspectives. It is a joy to be part of  their lives and lifting them up as they grow.

Almost everything we accomplish in life is the product of support and  encouragement from others…family, friends, community. From our  parents’ guidance during childhood, to the efforts of teachers, coaches,  mentors and spiritual leaders…it’s easy to see how almost everything  we become is built on the shoulders of others.

Nine decades ago, TVA arose as a force for good. To lift up a struggling  region of our nation. TVA’s very foundation is built upon a strong mission  to benefit the public good. It’s a mission that has stood the test of time. 

Today, the challenges are different yet no less critical to the  communities we serve.

At TVA, our strength lies in our collective power. And that power comes  from the unique experiences, perspectives and knowledge each  individual brings to the table
