Board of Directors Undergoes Reorganization

At their January meeting, Southern’s Board of Directors underwent a reorganization process, as required by the bylaws of the district. This reorganization involved electing new officers and the assignment of board members to serve on various standing committees. This process occurs every two years following the general elections.

The board of directors elected Dean Klute to serve as their Chairman. Other officers elected were as follows: Lynn Chrisp, Vice Chairman; Rick Bergman, Secretary; and Lee Grove, Treasurer.

Chairman Klute selected members for the Board’s various committees, each that will be lead by a chairman, as follows: Labor, Lynn Chrisp; Safety, Neal Katzberg; Finance, Lee Grove; Energy Park, Larry Benson; Strategic Planning, Chrisp; Bylaws, Dirk Nickel; Irrigation, Raye Woodman; Customer Relations, Adrian Choquette; Legislative, Chrisp; Budget, Katzberg; Marketing, Robert Overleese, and Audit, Richard Schaffert.
