Boy Scout Troop 541 of Buchanan received four $150 grants from American Electric Power in honor of AEP employee Bill Wah’s significant volunteer service.

The AEP Connects program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their communities and supports causes that are important to them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman, president and chief executive officer. More than 780 grants were made company-wide last year representing more than 130,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees and retirees and their families.

“Although no monetary grant can compare to the value of the time our employees and retirees give to worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program in the names of the AEP volunteers will help schools and non-profit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs,” Morris said.
