The promised 90-degree-plus weather was on its way—but not yet present—
when the members of Navarro County Electric Cooperative met for their annual
membership meeting the morning of Saturday, May 22. As a light breeze wafted
through the trees at Navarro College in Corsicana, blue shirt-clad employees
circled the parking lots on golf carts, picking up members and guests at their
vehicles and delivering them close to the front steps of the campus’ auditorium.
After registering, grabbing a cold drink and a goodie bag and slipping their
election ballots into a lock box, the members chose their seats to await the start
of the meeting. Board President Ron L. Buckley called the meeting to order and
thanked everyone for attending. With the reading of the
notice of meeting and 2009’s minutes quickly dispensed, Secretary-Treasurer
George Smith let the members know that their cooperative was in sound
financial condition. “When you consider that your cooperative operates on 25
cents of every dollar it receives, it really makes you appreciate the
management that we have here,” said Smith. “It’s the best we’ve ever had. All
of the women and guys out there working every day—thank you. And thank
you to all of you here today for supporting us.” read more »

2010 Apprenticeship Awards
November 2010
Dynamic organizations like Navarro County Electric Cooperative are built
upon the collection of skills possessed by their employees. The success of
any organization requires continuous change and improvement to enhance
the technical skills of our employees who enrich the lives of our members
through increased system reliability. In essence, our vision is to provide the
power that unlocks the potential of our employees to transform the lives of
our members.
The combined commitment of our organization to the training of each one of
these individuals will provide a work environment where accidents are
reduced and personal development of the highest level is achieved through
Navarro County Electric Cooperative’s Apprenticeship Program for Line
Personnel. All of this contributes to the responsibility we have to the
members of NCEC, Inc. to become the best electric cooperative in the
nation. On May 20, 2010 Navarro County Electric Cooperative, Inc. adopted
a training program for our apprentices to train them in the skills needed to
become linemen. The apprentices begin with the basic understanding of Ohm’
s law and electrical theory at the Groundman/ Apprentice level, working and
studying their way up the four levels and then graduate to lineman. In the
above picture these seven have completed their first level of the
apprenticeship program which they have achieved a minimum 80% grade
score to advance. We are proud of these seven for their hard work and
dedication toward becoming linemen. In this program they learn approved
line work skills and proper safety techniques to work on energized line and
proper troubleshooting.
Congratulations to: (front row) Justin,
Chris, Brody, Randy, Andy, (Back row),
Larry and Russell for becoming the NCEC
first ever recipients of this award.
