Directors 5(2)

Per Cass County Electric Cooperative Bylaws Section 3.7 - Nominees will be listed alphabetically, with incumbents noted.

Terry Kraft
District 5 (2) - West Fargo

I have always had an interest in electrical power generation and distribution, and the impact it has on society. Service levels provided by CCEC (some of the best in the country) impact all of us daily and should never be taken for granted. Serving as a CCEC Director would allow me to utilize my past management and operational experience to help support the CCEC mission and future initiatives for growth. I look forward as a volunteer to serve the community.

Bradley Maasjo
District 5 (2) - West Fargo

I grew up on a farm 10 miles south of Valley City, where I watched my dad and grandfather set an example of public service cooperatives I hold today. I attended NDSU, received a commission, and served 27 years in the U.S Air Force. After the Air Force, I joined the VA Medical Center in Fargo as an Information Technology Specialist. In the military, I had the privilege to command a squadron, group and wing level, where I was fortunate to work with great people. I received excellent executive-level training on developing new missions, core values, and measurable objectives. I know with my background, I could serve the board well, bringing fresh perspectives and unique experiences.

Tom Seymour - Incumbent
District 5 (2) - West Fargo

My experiences as a North Dakota State Senator, City Alderman, SRT Cooperative Director and Technology Professor have helped me be an appropriate leader during my first three years on the Board. Immediately, I obtained the Credentialed Cooperative Director designation and have shown leadership and electrical industry knowledge at our Cass County Electric Cooperative Board meetings. Our outstanding leadership and employees have been the key to our cooperative’s success.

I promote our mission statement to serve our members’ energy needs with affordable and reliable electricity. Do review my website, tomseymour66.com to view my qualifications.     

Incumbent directors

 

Jeff Triebold - Incumbent
District 4 - Fargo

As a kid, I grew up on a farm that was served by Cass County Electric Cooperative. Later in life, I moved into Cass County Electric’s service territory because I knew I wanted to serve the members and the cooperative. I believe my past and present work experience will provide valuable input for the cooperative and its members. I want to keep Cass County Electric progressively moving forward, so all members are proud. I will continue to work with fellow directors to keep your cooperative financially healthy, retain the cooperative's reliability and ensure topics like affordable rates are at the forefront of the conversation. Thank you for your trust.

Marcy Svenningsen - Incumbent
At-Large - Valley City

I believe that it is important to be an active participant in my community, not only in my occupations but using my abilities to serve others. My rural background and experience in business give me a unique perspective that allows me to represent all the members of the cooperative proactively and fairly. I am committed to dedicating the time necessary to be informed and educated about the issues facing the cooperative. I have appreciated the opportunity to serve as a Director, and humbly ask the members to allow me to continue to do so in the future.

voting information

 

For the safety of our members, Board of Directors, and employees, the Board approved changing our traditional in-person Annual Meeting to a virtual meeting. The virtual meeting format not only provides a safe alternative to view the meeting, but it allows more members to vote for their directors. All cooperative members have the opportunity to vote for directors either online or by mail-in absentee ballot.

Members will submit votes as absentee or electronic ballots, as approved by the Board, and a minimum of 75 member votes will determine a quorum for a valid virtual meeting.

Online voting for the Cass County Electric Cooperative (CCEC) Director Election is open Aug. 3, 2020, through Aug. 18, 2020, at 11:59 PM. Survey and Ballot Systems (SBS) will manage the online election. SBS safeguards the confidentiality of the voting process and the accurate tallying of votes. 

  • If you have a CCEC login (SmartHub), you will receive an email on Aug. 3, 2020, with your unique online voting credentials.

  • If you do NOT have a CCEC login, a letter will be sent via U.S. Postal Service on Aug. 3, 2020, with unique online voting instructions.

  • If you prefer to receive an absentee ballot via U.S. mail, please call 701-356-4400, or 800-248-3292, or email ccec@kwh.com.
