David Koogler, REC's senior vice president of member services and external affairs, was recently reappointed to serve on the GridWise Alliance Board of Directors, a national organization aimed at modernizing the electric grid. Koogler, will serve another two-year term on the 11-member board.  

“As one of the nation’s largest electric cooperatives, REC already serves as an industry leader,” Koogler said. “This board position gives member-owned electric cooperatives a seat at the table and a voice as important decisions are made about the future of the electric grid and energy industry.”

GridWise Alliance represents the broad and diverse stakeholders that design, build and operate the electric grid. Since 2003, the Alliance has been at the forefront of educating legislators and regulators about the critical need to modernize the national electric system.
