All of the Lignite Energy Council members are invited to participate in the summer events. Three of them – the ones held in North Dakota – benefit the Lignite Energy Council’s Political Action Committee in North Dakota. The golf tournament in Minnesota on August 16 is simply a networking opportunity for our Minnesota members to get to know one another and perhaps learn a little more about the lignite industry.
“Our summer events are part of what knits are family of member companies together,” said Jason Bohrer, president and CEO of the Lignite Energy Council. “It’s also how we raise money for CoalPAC, which allows us to support political candidates in North Dakota who support our industry.”
Dave Allard with the Lignite Energy Council sends notices to all of our members about the various events. There are committees who help host the various activities.
The largest is the North Dakota golf tournament, scheduled for Thursday, July 26. Golfers will be at one of three courses in the Bismarck area. They are: Apple Creek, Hawktree and Washburn.
Here are the dates of the other three:
- Thursday, August 16, 2018 – MN CSEF Golf Tournament (The Wilds)
- Thursday, August 23, 2018 – ND CoalPAC Ride
- Friday, September 14, 2018 – ND CoalPAC Shoot
