Pioneer Electric has accepted the resignation of Marieta Hauser from the cooperative’s Board of Trustees, effective October 25, 2023.

Upon her resignation, Hauser stated her appreciation for the opportunity to serve the Cooperative’s members.

 “I was truly shocked and unprepared to be elected to the Board of Trustees,” said Hauser. “After I was elected, I planned to be the best trustee I could be. Upon realizing the normal meeting dates of the Pioneer Electric Board conflicted with another board that I have served on for a number of years, I tried diligently to find a way to make it work to continue to serve the members of Pioneer Electric, who elected me to the position. As it turns out, I was unable to find a resolution.”

Hauser went on to express her appreciation for the Pioneer Electric board.

“We are in the midst of massive change in the energy industry,” stated Hauser. “The Pioneer Electric Board of Trustees has a heavy load figuring out how to best meet that change. I wish them the very best as they take on that task.”

“We thank Marieta for her service to the Pioneer Electric Board of Trustees and wish her the best in her future endeavors,” said Mike Brewer, Board of Trustees President. “The board will work diligently to ensure we find a suitable replacement.”

Pioneer Electric will begin the process of appointing a replacement. The cooperative is committed to maintaining its mission of providing members with world-class service and maintaining the high standards that it represents throughout the appointment process.
