BLYTHEWOOD – Fairfield Electric Cooperative moved forward last week toward its annual meeting to be held in May. As part of that process, the Coop’s nominating committee voted on nominees for its bi-annual election of members to the Coop’s board of trustees. That election will be held during the annual meeting.
Nominations
The Committee on Nominations voted to nominate all current trustees to run again for their seats on the board. Ridgeway resident Dan Ruff, the only challenger in this year’s trustee campaign, failed in his bid to be nominated for the District-at-Large seat held currently by Robert Entzminger, Sr.
