I am writing to endorse the candidacy of Neil Irvine for a seat on the New Hampshire Electric Co-Op Board of Directors. Neil has served Co-Op members on the nominating committee for several years and has first-hand knowledge of the challenges and responsibilities of being a director. Most importantly, Neil understands the needs of the members, is open minded, and approaches every challenge with a win-win attitude. Having personally worked with him as a selectman and having been interviewed by him when I was a candidate for the Board myself, I feel he would be a terrific addition to our board.
