Introducing Suwanee Valley Electric’s newest trustee

 Christian Peterson, [email protected]  Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) is a nonprofit electric cooperative that serves the Suwannee Valley. It is ran by a board of trustees who provide local governance, oversight and accountability for the cooperative’s operations. Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members. Representatives (trustees) are elected among the membership and are accountable to them.  “As Co-op members themselves, trustees understand the unique dynamics of the Co-op and of life within the Suwannee valley. It is one way that electric cooperatives stand apart from other utilities,” SVEC said.  Francene Fols
