FEC board appoints representative for Whitefish district

Gary Carmichael of Whitefish has been appointed to serve on Flathead Electric Cooperative’s Board of Trustees. 

He will represent members residing in District No. 3, which generally comprises the Whitefish and Big Mountain areas, until the 2024 Annual Meeting. At that time, a trustee will be elected by co-op members. A selection committee consisting of three trustees and three members-at-large from District #3 chose Carmichael from the six members who applied. 

Carmichael recently retired after a celebrated 33-year career as a history teacher and librarian. He was Montana’s 2007 Teacher of the Year.
