Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania and Columbia Gas of Maryland are part of the Columbia Energy Group, one of the nation's leading energy companies. The two utilities serve more than 410,000 customers in Maryland and Pennsylvania with nearly 800 employees. Both also have a long history of community service. Columbia Gas partners with NHD to provide social and economic investments in its communities, and to share in the history of each community. The benefits of participating in the National History Day program affect all involved.
Volunteers become engaged in the education process and more connected to their community.
Beth Reed remarks, My family absolutely loves the program. My husband, David, and I truly look forward to serving as judges each year. It is exciting to see Maryland's students present projects that they have become engaged in. We are constantly amazed at the high level of work they do. I am actively promoting NHD to my son's private school in hopes of getting them to participate.
