77th Annual Meeting Brings Business and Fellowship
THEY CAME FOR THE DOOR PRIZES and to participate in the business of their co-op by voting on directors and
listening to the news of the past year. But the 171 members of Navarro County Electric Cooperative and scores of guests who came to
the co-op’s 2017 annual membership meeting were there for the fellowship, too.
“Actually we’ve gotten to know some of the members over so many years that there’s a lot of them we greet with hugs,” said Lindy
Shaw, manager of administrative services at Navarro
County EC. “You’ll see people that greet them with hugs, and they’ve known them for a hundred years, it seems like.” Over a career
spanning 38 years at the co-op, Shaw doesn’t recall missing a single membership meeting. She was there this May 20 to help greet
members as they arrived for the co-op’s 77th annual event, held at Navarro College’s Dawson Auditorium in Corsicana. Nearly four
decades in, Shaw says she still looks forward to the opportunity to meet and greet members in person. “We get to have one-on-one
contact with our members, which we always enjoy,” she said.
Once inside, members gave voice votes re-electing Bill Southard, District IV, and Alfred Martin, District V, to
additional three-year terms on the board of directors. The democratically elected board represents the voices of the co-op members in
guiding the direction and decision-making of the cooperative. Democratic Member Control is one of the Seven Cooperative Principles
that guides co-ops’ operations. read more»

MATT CUNNINGHAM WAS PROMOTED January 1 to the
position of senior lineman. He started his lineman apprenticeship March 3,
2011, and earned the lineman certification in October 2015. During the
intervening time, he worked on the co-op’s overhead and underground line
crews, and operated a service bucket in all five counties that Navarro
County Electric Cooperative serves.
Cunningham also has helped with on-the-job training of our apprentices,
showing them safe work procedures and exhibiting good leadership skills.

JIMMY PUTMAN RETIRES WITH 40 YEARS
UNDER HIS LINEMAN’S BELT
Jimmy Putman came to work at Navarro County Electric Cooperative on June 26th,
1978. At first Jimmy worked on the construction crew, building overhead and underground
power lines, while advancing through the Lineman Apprenticeship program. Jimmy was a
dedicated lineman for 37 of those 40 years even though he would eventually move to the
position of Staking Technician.
And now in January 2018 Jimmy Putman has announced his retirement. Although, we will
miss him in the future, Jimmy now deserves time for family and personal interests. On
behalf of the Directors and Employees of NCEC we would like to wish Jimmy the best!
