District B Candidate
Sault Ste. Marie
Hello District B! My name is Heidi Witucki and I am running for the Cloverland Electric Cooperative Board of Directors. I have attended every Board of Directors meeting since the Directors opened the meetings to the member/owners, which was just over 5 years ago. The time has come for me to run for office so that I can represent you. I grew up on 10 Mile Road not far from where Cloverland holds its annual Membership Meeting. I attended Sault Area High School, then started college at LSSU. I transferred to NMU and completed a Bachelor's Degree and a Secondary Teaching Certificate. I then went on to a Graduate program at Indiana University in Bloomington. I returned to teaching and then married a Marine, so we went to Hawaii where he was stationed at Kaneohe on the island of Oahu. I came home to the Soo and resumed teaching with the Upward Bound Program at LSSU, which I did for over 30 years until the program ended in 2017. Since I retired from Upward Bound, I have been enjoying my grandchildren, working for our community through organizations like the League of Women Voters and other service organizations, and watching out for people who need help. One of my requests at the Cloverland Board meetings is that they track and share what percentage of our members are behind on their bills because it is an indicator of how our area residents are coping with these crazy economic times. Our cooperative has an amazing mix of power sources, solid leadership from the CEO and executive officers, and a phenomenal staff. Whenever there is an outage announced, I love going to the outage map and watching the numbers drop lower and lower. If I'm elected, I promise to serve and represent you well.
