It was announced recently that the Board of Trustees of Northfork Electric Cooperative have found a successor to replace their retiring general manager.
In a press release it was announced that after a three-month search, Brent Meador will replace Scott Copeland who is retiring after nearly 29 years at the co-op.
Co-op officials said extensive investigations into the experience of potential candidates were held, but after three rounds of interviews it was ultimately Meador’s qualifications that led to his hiring. He is no stranger to NFEC, having served on the Board of Trustees for four years before resigning that position and taking the helm as General Manager/Chief Financial Officer.
