Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation (MTEMC) has announced the results of its 82nd Annual Meeting.
Members re-elected Ann Little of Williamson County (District 1B), David A. Lee of Rutherford County (District 2B), Roy Tom Purkey of Wilson County (District 4A) and James E. Mills of Wilson County (District 4C) for the 2018-2021 board.
The 2018 Nominating Committee elected W.J. “Joey” Davis, Donald Lampley and Juanita Patton from District 1 – Williamson County; Thomas “Teb” Batey II, Robert Mullins, and Jamey Faulkner from District 2 – Rutherford County; Jeanne Melton from District 3 – Cannon County; and Ken Howell, Zachary Butler and Quintin Smith from District 4 – Wilson County.
The board also re-elected Mike Woods of Rutherford County as chairman, Tom Purkey of Wilson County as vice chairman and Steve Seger of Williamson County as secretary-treasurer.
More than 1,900 people attended the Annual Meeting Expo and spoke with MTEMC staff at booths, tables and spaces designed to engage members in conversations about various topics across the cooperative. The expo also gave members the opportunity to participate in a health fair and win a variety of door prizes. Don Strang, an MTEMC member in Rutherford County, won the grand prize – a used 2011 Ford Ranger that had been retired from the MTEMC fleet.
“We are grateful to the hundreds of members who attended this year’s annual meeting,” said Chris Jones, MTEMC President and CEO. “The democratic process of members electing those that represent and serve them is an important piece of who we are as a not-for-profit, member-owned electric cooperative. This year’s setup also increased member engagement, which is a priority as we continuously seek to understand our members’ needs and deepen our community relationships.”
