Board reduced to six directors

At the June 24 San Luis Valley REC board meeting, an adjustment was made to the composition of its Board of Directors, with the reduction of board seats from seven to six. The Costilla and Conejos County board positions have been combined into one. This change comes as the result of unsuccessful attempts to find a replacement after ongoing efforts following Kim Wakasugi’s resignation from the Costilla County district.

“Costilla and Conejos counties combined make up less than 10 percent of our membership, and with the close geographic proximity, it made the most sense to combine those two districts. Stephen Valdez, current director in that area, is very knowledgeable of the industry and has stayed very involved with the Conejos County members for the past eight years. Costilla County members will be pleased with his guidance and commitment,” stated CEO Eric Eriksen.

REC remains committed to its mission of “Serving a Powerful Connection...” and is confident that this transition should be seamless to members.
