A Classic Tradition For Alabama Power Employees

By Keisa Sharpe

It’s time for the 77th annual Magic City Classic. The football game kicks off Saturday, Oct. 27, at Birmingham’s Legion Field at 2:30 p.m., but the weekend includes a host of activities for fans to enjoy leading up to the game.

The rivalry is touted as the No. 1 Classic game of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

Some Alabama Power employees will be watching the outcome of the Classic very closely.

Joey Merritt is a bona fide Alabama State University Hornet. In fact, he says his wife and two children are “united” in their love for the university from which he graduated in 1994. He joined Alabama Power in April 2011 as a mid-career employee and is currently a Lighting Sales representative working in Montgomery.

He describes his work experience at Alabama Power as dynamic and fast-paced.

“We have a talented workforce that is dedicated to our customers,” said Merritt. “We provide cutting-edge solutions to many of today’s energy problems.”
