SECO Energy District 3 Members Re-elect Trustee Gerald Anderson
SECO Energy members who reside in District 3 re-elected current Board of Trustees President Gerald Anderson to represent them on SECO Energy’s Board of Trustees for another three years. The meeting was held on February 5 at Savannah Center of The Villages, located within the District.
SECO Energy is a not-for-profit electric cooperative operated for and owned by its members. Its service area is geographically divided into nine Districts, with one Trustee elected from each district to represent their fellow members on SECO’s nine-member Board of Trustees. Collectively, the Board represents the SECO membership, meeting monthly to provide governance oversight and participate in policy decisions that serve the best interests of the membership at large.
President Anderson and Roger Weakley both submitted a letter of intent to run for the District 3 Trustee position. SECO’s Bylaws currently require that the cooperative hold District Meetings, and the Florida Statute mandates in-person elections. To encourage participation and enhance convenience, a drive-thru voting option was available for members.
A SECO member since 2013, President Anderson was first elected to SECO Energy’s Board of Trustees in 2019. In 2021, he earned the Director Gold Credential from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), the highest Trustee accreditation from the NRECA. He formerely served as both Board Secretary-Treasurer and Vice President before being elected as SECO Energy Board President in 2022. Mr. Anderson lives in The Villages.
Trustee Anderson thanked his District 3 constituents for their attendance at the District Meeting and their vote of confidence. “I’m honored to be re-elected to the SECO Board,” he stated. “We’re entering a period of significant growth and development, and I’m committed to ensuring we navigate these opportunities effectively. I value the trust placed in me by the District 3 members and am enthusiastic about the work ahead.”
CEO Curtis Wynn expressed his gratitude to the District 3 members for their impressive turnout at the meeting. He also acknowledged the two candidates who demonstrated a commitment to serving their community through SECO Energy Board service. “The Executive Leadership Team and I value Mr. Anderson’s contributions as District 3 Trustee and as Board President since 2022. I have worked with, or for, hundreds of Board members, President Anderson is one of the most hardworking board members I have had the pleasure to serve with. Congratulations, President Anderson on your re-election,” Wynn stated. “We look forward to continued collaboration with him and the Board to ensure SECO Energy’s ongoing success.”
