Frontier Power employee Ken Hunter graduated from a statewide program aiming to hone the skills of the next generation of electric cooperative leaders.
The one-year Cooperative Leadership Edge program was hosted by Frontier Power’s trade association, Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, and required six courses, two assessments and a capstone project. Coursework focused on coaching employees, managing conflict, adapting communication approaches, carrying out difficult conversations and delivering results.
Hunter serves as Frontier Power’s Line Superintendent and has been with the co-op since 1989. He began in the right-of-way department and worked his way up to first class lineman and became the line supervisor in 2019.
Frontier Power invests in training and development with the goal of serving consumer-members with top talent and skills, said CEO/General Manager Steven K. Nelson.
“We’re not just an electricity provider — we’re here to make this area an even better place to live, work and serve,” he said. “That means investing in our employees and making sure we’re providing the best possible community services. We’re really proud of Ken for his accomplishment, and we’re pleased to have him on our staff.”
