Sierra Pacific Power is going platinum. With a hit title of "Accentuate the Positive," Sierra Pacific is among other top 10 organizations to be awarded a Platinum Star by Truckee Meadows Tomorrow.

At Sierra Pacific "Accentuate the Positive" is more than a catchy song - it is a dedication to improve the quality of life in the Truckee Meadows. This commitment can be seen in the numerous ongoing and newly formed partnerships made between the company and community organizations.

Sierra Pacific is helping to strengthen communities with its support of arts and cultural groups, educational institutions, environmental organizations, and historic preservation. This support is represented both financially and with committed volunteer efforts. The result: uplifting music to the ear and the community.

Each year, Truckee Meadows Tomorrow awards Silver Stars to community organizations or companies that have made valuable contributions toward an improved quality of life. The Platinum Star, a newly created award, honors organizations whose contributions are far more than a one hit wonder. Sierra Pacific Power Company's commitment to community service is a tradition that has been in place for decades, and continues making a positive contribution to a great quality of life in the Truckee Meadows region.
