AEP Retirees’ site publishes 400th story

The AEP Retirees website recently celebrated the publishing of its 400th story since its inception in April 2010.

With the posting of the Tanners Creek Plant retirement story May 18, the AEP Retirees website celebrated the publishing of its 400th story.

Launched in April 2010 as “the official website dedicated to serving retirees and other alumni of American Electric Power,” AEP Retirees has served as an external connection to the company for retirees and alumni. Since its formal launch, AEPretirees.com has been viewed over 963,000 times and 826 people are “followers” of the site. Since there is no formal login, the site can be viewed by anyone.

Although the site will continue to evolve, it currently features:

• News and announcements from AEP;
• Links to external news stories about AEP;
• Feature stories about retirees;
• Retirements and obituaries;
• Historical photographs; and
• Links to other useful websites, such as the AEP Retirement Savings Plan and the Wall of Heroes.

You may even subscribe to the site, and be notified by e-mail whenever a new item is posted. To date, the site has 826 subscribers.

There is also a Facebook page for retirees at https://www.facebook.com/AEPretirees.
