Message from the General Manager

Members, As the year comes to an end, it is time to look back on some of our accomplishments here at Jemez Mountains Electric. We are continuing to look for and implement cost saving measures, while maintaining the best possible level of service for our members. |

Throughout the year we have been upgrading both the transmission and distribution systems to be prepared for another northern New Mexico winter, including an improved tree trimming program in our service territory. We are preparing in the event there is a repeat of the 'coldest days in 50 years'.
After the annual meeting in July, I reported that our Board of Trustees was working hard to provide a revised set of bylaws for our members review in the next few months. A lot of thought has gone into the proposed revisions and we feel these revisions will better serve our cooperative and its members in the years to come. We will need your support to pass these new bylaws. The Board will be announcing a series of district meetings to review these changes, which will be scheduled in the spring of next year. We hope you will come and ask questions and approve the changes.
The Board of Trustees and I appreciate the comments we have received from our members throughout the year, and we are taking steps to improve our communications with you. In order to achieve this goal, throughout the year we held monthly radio programs, hosted members "open house/coffee breaks" around the territory as well as three renewable energy workshops. We are planning to hold a fourth workshop in the Cuba area next spring. We also sent out a customer service survey earlier this year, and we appreciated hearing back from 1,750 members.
If you have any suggestions for any of us at JMEC, please send your suggestions to me at gm@jemezcoop.org
All of us here at Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative hope that all of our members and their families have a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe Holiday season!
Wayne Sowell
General Manager
