Each passing year takes from our midst many valued leaders and friends of electric cooperatives, a number of whom were pioneers and upon whose efforts and dedications our progress has been founded. It is with much sadness and a sense of great loss that we pay tribute to those who have passed away since our last annual meeting. We dedicate ourselves to the challenge to continue in their footsteps and to uphold the principles for which they strove. The delegates to the 79th Annual Meeting of the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association, pay our sincere respect and tribute to those we lost in 2020.
