The Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA) elections are upon us and it fundamental for members to vote! Ballots will be mailed on Monday, May 23 and for your vote to count it must be received by Wednesday, June 15. Member may vote in-person at the annual general meeting on Thursday, June 16. DMEA is our rural electric cooperative governed by a board of directors, elected by the member-owners of the entity.
One candidate is very deserving of our vote – Nancy Hovde (whose name appears at the bottom of the ballot) – has been excellent director, representing member-owner values, maintaining her commitment to keeping energy bills affordable, promoting energy efficiency within the home, and advocating local energy resources.
Nancy is worthy of re-election. Her previous experiences of serving on the Colorado Rural Electric Association and Western United Electric Board, and as a director for Tri-State Generation and Transmission have been a major asset to DMEA. During her tenure, Nancy has promoted energy efficiency and affordable renewable options. In 2010, Nancy was named one of the top 20-energy leaders in the US and was selected to attend classes at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, graduating with the title of Energy Executive. Nancy has refused to rest on her laurels.
Looking towards the future, Nancy will built on her experience and education and push for renewable and energy efficiency programmes which benefit DMEA members. Maintaining low electricity rates, while keeping service quality high has been a hallmark which Nancy will continue. She will also work with local businesses in promoting energy efficiency and distributive generation, which will subsequently create more local jobs.
For these reasons, I wholeheartedly encourage friends and neighbours to support Nancy “bottom of the ballot” Hovde. The future looks bright with Nancy Hovde representing us on the DMEA board – remember to vote!
