February 2015 Patterson retires after 30 years with NWEC K


aren Patterson started work- ing for Northwestern Electric in the billing department on


Jan. 21, 1985. During her career, she worked her way from Consumer Rep I to Consumer Rep III.


Karen has seen a lot of changes over the years. The most tedious job she remembers was processing the meter reading cards by hand. With today’s technology, just about every- thing is done on the computer. She says the new automated meters, Se- lectPay billing and being able to take all kinds of payments over the phone are the changes that impacted her job the most.

“I have enjoyed interacting with the consumers and getting to know a lot of them personally,” she said. “It’s rewarding to feel like I helped them with problems they had on their bills. I also worked with a great bunch of co-workers.”

Northwestern Electric held a luncheon in Karen’s honor during the December safety meeting. CEO Tyson Littau presented her with a clock as part of her retirement gift from NWEC.


Karen and her husband, Frank, have three children—Bryan; Brant and his wife, Della; Ryan and his wife, Mag- gie; and a granddaughter, Parker.
