What would be your priority or goal if elected on SCI REMC’s Board of Directors?

My priority if re-elected to the SCI REMC Board of Directors would be representing the interests of the members. My goals would include continuing to provide safe, reliable, affordable electricity and broadband service to my fellow members. I would also prioritize continuing my education about electric cooperatives in order to best serve our members with educated knowledge and leadership.

What role should SCI REMC play in supporting the communities we serve beyond providing electric and internet service?

SCI REMC should be more than just a provider of electricity and internet – it should be a partner in building a stronger, more resilient community. SCI REMC is currently doing this through Operation RoundUp with grants to support nonprofits, fire departments, food banks, and other vital services that improve the quality of life for our members. SCI REMC also supports youth with scholarships and by sponsoring students for a trip to Washington, D.C..

How would you stay connected to the concerns and ideas of the members you represent throughout your term?

I would stay connected to the concerns and ideas of the members I represent by being accessible by phone, email and in-person. I am an active member of the community and would be available to members at various events such as the county fair, legislative breakfasts, town meetings, etc. I would be responsive by making sure members’ voices shape the decisions I make on the board.
