Message to the Members:
It has been an honor and privilege to serve as your Director for the last six years. I have learned a great deal about the business of Chariton Valley but am still learning as there is so much to learn in the ever-changing telecommunications industry. The Board has made some great strides in moving Chariton Valley forward in securing a solid business for its employees and customers. We are expanding our service and reaching out to area towns providing them with our services while building a much stronger company and cooperative. We are a nationally recognized and respected company in the industry and a leader in offering Broadband in rural Missouri, something we all should be proud of. I would like to continue to serve as your representative for the Northwest Area and finish working on some of the projects we have begun. I would greatly appreciate your vote.

Message to the Members:
I believe in the cooperative business model. When the cooperative benefits its owners/members, we can provide cost effective telecommunications that make our homes and businesses more enjoyable and efficient. The shareholders are the owner/members, and if elected, I would work to represent their interests and the interests of the Cooperative, as a whole. I have served in a variety of leadership positions where I have helped with problem solving, strategic planning, and in establishing safety protocols along with detailed decision making. I would appreciate your vote and the opportunity to bring my experience and serve on the Chariton Valley Board of Directors. Thank you for your consideration.
