On June 15th, Tony Cannon, our General Manager and CEO, was installed as chair of the American Public Power Association (APPA) during its National Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.  

Tony has over 30 years of experience in public power and currently serves on the Board of Commissioners for ElectriCities North Carolina and the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency.  He is also a member of multiple public power boards and committees. 

The American Public Power Association is an association of more than 2,000 non-profit community-owned utilities across the country. They advocate for public power before the federal government, protecting the interests of over 49 million public power customers and 96,000 employees. 

APPA board members are chosen to represent 10 regions across the country. CEO of ElectriCities of NC Roy Jones was newly elected to the APPA board during the conference, giving North Carolina public power two representatives on the board.
