Georgia Transmission Re-elects Board Officers
TUCKER, Ga. -- Georgia Transmission Corporation’s (GTC) Board of Directors re-elected officers at its annual board meeting March 26 in Atlanta.
Four officers will serve one-year terms: chairman – Charles Fendley, who is also chairman of the board at Amicalola EMC; vice chairman – Ray C. Jones, also a director for Jackson EMC; secretary – Roy Tollerson, Jr., also a Diverse Power director; and treasurer – Steve E. Rawl, who is first vice president of Okefenoke Rural EMC. Each of these GTC officers has served in the same position since 1996.
In addition to Fendley and Jones, two directors -- Ronnie Lee, northeast regional manager director, and Kenneth Cook, central regional manager director – were reelected.
Georgia Transmission’s board consists of five electric membership cooperative (EMC) managers, six directors of state EMCs and two directors not affiliated with EMCs. Electric cooperatives are member-owned electric utilities that deliver electric service to nearly half the state’s population across more than 73 percent of the state.
The company is a not-for-profit cooperative that plans, builds and maintains electric transmission facilities for 39 of Georgia’s Electric Membership Corporations (EMCs). Its more than $1.25 billion in assets include about 2,700 miles of transmission lines and 600 substations throughout the state.
