I appreciated the honor to serve on the ACEC Board of Directors and look forward to my 3rd term. My career as a Financial Advisor continues to add value to the board room discussions as we have a diverse board with the purpose to continue to successfully lead ACEC into the future. We will continue to keep our members’ interests our first priority as we provide safe, reliable and affordable energy.

As things continue to change we will look to adapt to the issues that arise from things like increased use of EVs and renewables. With the wonderful staff we have at ACEC, I am sure our future will be bright.

 

 

District 5
Jon Ebert

(920) 295-2766

My name is Jon Ebert and I would like to represent our membership on the board of directors for another three year term. I was employed by ACEC for 36 years, retired for nine years, and have been a board of director now for six years. My wife Jan and I still reside in Marquette county where we have been all of our lives. During my tenure on the board we have most recently been involved with making decisions regarding higher than normal costs for wholesale power, transformers, and line materials. With the recent administration change in January there may be a completely different look at how our cooperative will adjust to the upcoming years ahead. I have complete confidence in our staff at ACEC and our current board’s wisdom to guide us through these years which I would like to continue to be involved.

I would appreciate the opportunity to represent you our members for another term, and will do my best making decisions in the best interest of our membership.
