Grob should keep job on Co-op board

With many years as Flathead Electric Co-op Trustee and as Board President, Doug Grob’s service to our community is well-known. But many may not be aware of the reputation he has earned at the regional level as a thoughtful and respected advocate for our utility.

Each month, Doug travels to Portland to meet and work collaboratively with other leaders on energy issues. Over the years he has developed deep relationships with the Northwest’s decision makers — including Bonneville Power Administration executives. Before retiring, I attended many of the same meetings with Doug and can attest to his influence and commitment. Not many elected officials do their homework like Doug. And few are as wise.

As long as he is willing to serve, we should keep Doug on the job.
