Greg Blum, President and CEO of CWEC, Takes on New Venture!
The Board of Directors at Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative announce that President and CEO Greg Blum will be leaving Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative to take a job as Regional Vice President with The National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation.
Greg started with Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative January 1, 2001 as the Chief Financial Officer and took over as CEO on November 1, 2002. Greg has led CWEC through many ventures the past 12 years culminating in a new headquarters building being constructed in 2011.
‘I am very proud of our Board of Directors, employees, and members for their contributions to our success the past 12 years. I enjoyed every minute of every day working here and meeting all of our wonderful members. My new job will allow me to continue in the electric cooperative world and allow me to serve more cooperatives and members across the US. Electric Cooperatives are the greatest organizations that not only distribute electricity to their members, but truly care for the well being of their members and Rural America. The Board of Directors and employees at Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative will continue this proud tradition. It has been an honor to serve you over the years.’
The Board of Directors have named Cass Reynolds as Interim CEO as they conduct a nation-wide executive search to replace Greg.
CWEC celebrated 75 years in 2012, and we look forward to serving you for many more years. CWEC is an electric utility in central Wisconsin, serving approximatey 7,100 members on 1,500 miles of electric lines. As a member of the cooperative you are actually an owner. We encourage all of our members to become involved in the co-op by volunteering to serve on a committee, becoming a board member or attending an annual meeting. Your co-op is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of co-op members and we are guided by seven cooperative principles. Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative is located in Rosholt, WI.
