Alger Delta Election Results Announced:
Alger Delta held its first district meeting of 2012 in Grand Marais, MI on March 29, where incumbent Nancy Gardner-Platt was elected to a second term on the Alger Delta board with 62% of the vote total. About 45 members and employees of the Cooperative attended the meeting.
Gardner-Platt’s opponent in the election was James Krempa, also of Grand Marais. Both candidates garnered solid support from the community, as evidenced by the good turnout at the district meeting. On April 3, the Harvey-Deerton district convened their election meeting at the Onota Town Hall. Sam Simonetta took the majority of the votes, unseating incumbent director Gerald Krieg. Simonetta garnered about 60% of the votes. Approximately 45 members and employees were in attendance.
The Cedar River district meeting was held on April 9. About 35 members and employees turned out to witness the results of the District 4 election where Bessie Anderson prevailed over Jim Bruner in the only open seat election. The open seat resulted following incumbent director Roy Hubbard announcing his retirement from the board after more than 26 years of service.
Board President Paul Sederquist (District 6, Nathan-White Rapids) chaired each of the three district meetings. In addition to the elections, General Manager Tom Harrell provided a review of business activities and the overall performance of the Cooperative in 2011. Harrell discussed activities planned for 2012 and answered members’ questions.
Board members elected in 2012 will be officially seated at the Annual Meeting on June 20.
