SDCEA Welcomes New Fremont County Director
PrintSeptember 30, 2024 – Sangre de Cristo Electric Association (SDCEA) is pleased to announce the selection of Rob Canterbury as the new director representing Fremont County on SDCEA board.
A rancher from a multi-generational family in the area, and a lifetime resident of Fremont County, Canterbury brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the community. Canterbury steps into this role following the resignation of former director Nick Hellbusch in July and will serve the remainder of Hellbusch’s term, which concludes in June. Canterbury will be eligible to run for the seat at that time for a full three-year term.
“We are excited to welcome Rob to the board,” said Sandra Attebery, Chair of SDCEA. “His dedication to Fremont County and his background will be invaluable as we continue to enhance our services and meet the needs of our members.”
Canterbury was selected by the board after interviews of three Fremont County residents who applied for the position.
About the Election Process
Director terms on the SDCEA board are for three years, with elections held annually on a rotating basis for each seat. Board members are elected by SDCEA’s membership, comprising all account holders of the cooperative. This democratic process ensures that all members have a voice in the direction of their electric cooperative. While board members are elected to represent members from geographical areas of the cooperative, they are elected to serve all members. Two board seats are designated as at-large.
Current board officers include:
- Sandra Attebery, Chair
- Charlie Abel, Vice-Chair
- Blake Bennetts, Secretary
- Jeff Fiedler, Treasurer
The board also comprises directors Mark Boyle, Sandra Long, and Canterbury.
