Gary De Young for Grand Valley Power Board

Welcome

Thanks for being interested in the Grand Valley Power board elections! A lot of people don’t realize they can help choose the path GVP takes by voting for board members.

Upcoming Important Board Decisions

Some important decisions the board will make this by the end of this year that will affect all members include:

• Choosing a new CEO – A company that helps find top leaders has been hired. GVP hopes to have a new CEO early next year. The new CEO must understand and be creative with solution for member solar installations a growing segment of GVP members.
• Looking at how rates and bills are set – A consultant has been hired to help review the current prices member pay and establish what adjustments are needed.

Member Expectations

At Grand Valley Power, our members want a few simple things: fair prices, helpful customer service, and power they can count on. To make that happen, we need a strong Board of Directors who can make smart choices and balance costs, technology, and operations. I believe members should also expect GVP to make data driven decisions.

What do I bring to the table?

The most important qualification is to have a passion for the community and a willingness to actively serve and learn. I do have that passion, but what else do I bring to the table?

I'm a Data Analysis with Mesa County where I use statistics, programming, databases and presentation tools to help community members understand and explain things they are interested in. I have also make tools to help people collect data they need to make decisions.

With my skill set I can bring a better and deeper understanding of electric usage and growth within the GVP service area.
