Tri-County EMC’s Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Edward “Ed” Walker to fill the District 3, Post 2 board seat vacated by the retirement of long-time director, Tommy Noles. Walker officially began his service at the March board meeting and will fill the post until the director election held at the cooperative’s annual meeting in October.
Walker is a lifelong resident of Baldwin County and has been a Tri-County EMC member since 1982. He began his professional career as an educator and later entered the kaolin industry where he completed 35 years at BASF/Kamin LLC with various roles in Operations Management, Quality Management, and Process Engineering.
Before his appointment, Walker served twelve years on the Tri-County EMC Foundation Board for Operation Roundup. He currently serves on the Milledgeville/Baldwin County Development Authority, Fall Line Regional Development Authority, and the Sinclair Water Authority. In his free time, Walker enjoys spending time with family, fishing, hunting, golfing, and working on farm projects. He and his wife, Vanessa, are members of the Beulahland Bible Church.
“I enjoy observing new processes and seeking opportunities for personal growth,” said Walker. “The director role will challenge me to learn more about power distribution and allow me to cultivate new relationships while serving the Tri-County EMC Membership.”
