Statement of Position:
“It is extremely important for MVEA to be operated in a financially responsible manner with a goal of providing reliable electrical service at the lowest possible rates. MVEA must be postured to utilize renewable energy to the extent possible and feasible as well as promoting energy efficiency to help conserve and protect our environment. Technology has become an important item in the areas served by MVEA and anything that can be done to promote broadband should be considered. I believe my experience in Banking and serving on the MVEA Board help to meet these ideals.”
