NASHVILLE, TN - Nashville Electric Service (NES) distributed 143 computers and monitors to 39 local charitable and civic organizations recently.
“While the computers are used, they are in good working condition,” said Vic Hatridge, Vice President Information Systems. “We looked at several options, including using them for spare parts, but we realized the computers could be put to good use. We decided to award the computers to organizations in which NES employees are actively involved.”
Employees submitted the names of local charitable and civic organizations with which they actively volunteer. A committee then awarded the computers to organizations using these criteria: (1) Children learning centers utilizing the computers throughout the week, (2) Adult learning centers utilizing the computers throughout the week, and (3) Children and/or adult learning centers utilizing the computers primarily on the weekend.
