Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative (HWE) held its Annual Meeting in Findlay on Saturday, September 15 to a crowd of around 2,000 people, which is believed to have been the largest customer party in northwest Ohio.
The meeting covered several co-op business and financial items, including details on the new planned office facility, scheduled to open in 2008. HWE also unveiled a new logo, timed to coincide with the introduction of the new facility. The day also included a fun atmosphere with a theme focused around “Building the Future.” Children’s activities, booths and other giveaways added to the excitement of the day, preceded by a free buffet meal of eggs, ham, sausage, pancakes and much more. HWE also conducted a successful food drive, which benefited the City Mission of Findlay and the BG Christian Food Pantry.
The results of recent trustee elections were announced, as well as the swearing in of each elected trustee at the meeting. Members from District 3 elected Tom Dierksheide; this district includes Freedom, Montgomery and Perry Townships of Wood County and Madison and Scott Townships of Sandusky County. District 6 elected Dave Corbin, whose district includes Biglick, Cass and Washington Townships of Hancock County and Big Springs Township of Seneca County. Finally, District 9 elected John Edie, whose district comprises Richland and Ridge Townships of Wyandot County, Blanchard and Jackson Townships of Hardin County and Madison, Delaware and Amanda Townships of Hancock County.
Speaker Pat O’Loughlin, Buckeye Power VP, Engineering & Power Supply, provided a state industry update. President & CEO George Walton also addressed the crowd on company engineering and operations improvements, and Board Chairman Ed Crawford reported on the company highlights over the past year.
