    APPA believes in recognizing individuals and member utilities for significant contributions made to public power, and provides its members with many opportunities to earn deserved recognition through its annual award programs. The James D. Donovan Individual Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the electric utility industry and to public power. Roos is an active and frequent participant in APPA’s Legislative Rally, and is considered an effective and articulate spokesperson for public power.
