SUPPLEMENT TO OKLAHOMA LIVING

evaluate their organizational structures to determine the most effective way to serve their members. Over the past five years Hood has


come out of retirement to fill interim management positions as co-ops look for permanent managers. He says he does this because he “truly likes to help coop- eratives achieve the very best service pos- sible for their members.” He believes the cooperative model is the best environment for members and employees. “It is an environment where the peo-


ple you serve own the company,” he says. “We are glad to have Bob at the helm


of CVEC during this time of transition,” says Kim Behrnes, CVEC acting general manager. “His vast experience in the elec- tric utility industry, and his many years working with electric cooperatives as- sures us CVEC will continue to provide excellent service while the board conducts its search for a permanent general manag- er. Bob’s commitment to keeping CVEC members as the co-op’s top priority makes him a good fit at this time.” Hood and his wife attend Ponderosa Baptist Church in Kentucky and he says they are looking for a church to attend while they are here.


Bob Weaver Retires After Years of Service Bob Hood Interim General Manager


Yates Adcock, president of the board of trustees for Canadian Valley Electric Co-op, announces Robert ‘Bob’ Hood has been tapped to serve as interim general manager. Hood comes to CVEC from Ca- diz, KY, where he and his wife Rita live on Lake Barkley.


Hood has over 42 years experience in


the electric utility business. He began his career with Florida Power & Light Co., but he retired after 34 years of service due an illness in his immediate family. At the time of his retirement, he was a director of distribution, and responsible for most of the utility’s system along the east coast of Florida. Two years later, he began consult- ing with Owen Electric Co-op in Ken- tucky, who then hired him as a full-time employee. When he retired in 2009 he was president-CEO. Several years later he became an associate consultant with NRECA, helping electric


cooperatives


After 15 years as being “the face of CVEC,” Bob Weaver retired Dec. 31. Bob came to work at the co-op in June 2000 as manager of marketing and economic development. Since then has worked to serve the membership and help members benefit fully from cooperative ownership. He has also worked with area civic organizations to promote this area of Oklahoma. Bob served as managing editor of Electralite, working to provide members with


pertinent information about their co-op, along with offering information on energy efficiency and safety.


He planned and facilitated member meetings such as Annual Meeting, striving to make the meetings both enjoyable and informative. Bob was coordinator of the co-op’s Operation Round-up program, which serves members and area residents through charitable means. Prior to beginning his co-op career, Bob served as State Representative for 12 years.


Bob plans to spend his retirement Bob Weaver


working on the 19 rental properties he and his wife Kelli own, spending more time with his family, golfing and travel- ing. He and his wife have a planned a trip to Costa Rica later in the year. “It was great working at the co-op,” he says. “I truly enjoyed my time there, and am thankful for the wonderful op- portunities I had. I’m going to miss the great employees and members I’m used to seeing all these years.”
