Meet the 2019 Director Candidates
Members of the Cass County Electric Cooperative (CCEC) board of directors are elected to three-year terms every spring. Directors must be members of the cooperative and be a bona fide resident of the director district in which they are seeking directorship. That means you, as a member, can have a say in CCEC operations by voting for your directors. Democratic member control is one of the principles that sets cooperatives apart from other types of businesses and utilities.
John Froelich, Valley City District 1, incumbent
I was first elected to the township board when I was 22 years old, and I have been on some form of service board since that time. I am a visionary person; however, I can dig into the details. I am proficient enough with a computer to serve on a board in today’s computer world. When I first ran to be a Cass County Electric Co-op Director, I said I believed in reliable services at a reasonable cost. Today, those qualities are a part of many electrical coops mission statements. I have always believed in a strong coop fiscal policy and at the same time one that pays out capital credits in a timely manner. Cass County electric has a long history of being a forward-looking, progressive cooperative. I have enjoyed being part of that history and would like to be a part of the future.
Glenn Mitzel, West Fargo District 5, incumbent
Safe, Reliable, and Affordable: When elected to the board I thought I knew what those meant based on my engineering, accounting, and management background. I since have a whole new understanding of what an endeavor those things are in this industry. I’m proud of my service toward those goals. But the challenge continues as the industry evolves; I am ready to stay atop those challenges (energy supply, new generation technologies, rapidly changing wholesale prices, maintaining a sound electrical delivery system) as they come. I would appreciate your vote so I may continue working to ensure a safe, reliable, affordable electricity supply.
