Emerson to Lead NRECA

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) has a new leader.  U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, a Missouri Republican, announced that she will be retiring from Congress in February to take the helm of the NRECA.  When asked about the decision, Emerson stated, “. . . [t]hese are the people who provide electricity to my constituents…and the rural electric coops are what built America, the rural part of our country.”  Emerson will officially resign from the House on February 8, 2013, and start her job at the NRECA on February 11, 2013.  Read more here.
