South Kentucky RECC Has New Vice-President

South Kentucky RECC now has a new Vice-President of Engineering and Operations. Long-time employee Steve Conover, who has been with the co-op for more than 30 years, has been promoted to fill the vacancy left by the leaving of Carol Wright.

Conover began his career at South Kentucky RECC in 1976 as an assistant staking engineer. It was that same year that he received his Associates of Science in Electrical Engineering from Somerset Community College. Steve went on to be promoted to Planning Engineer, then later to a supervisory position.

In 2002, he received his Bachelor of Science in Public Administration, and the next year, he became the Engineering Team Leader for South Kentucky RECC. Conover followed up by obtaining his Masters in Business Administration in 2004.

SKRECC CEO Allen Anderson says Conover was the perfect choice for the position.

“The experience that Steve brings to the position of Vice-President of Engineering and Operations is extremely valuable. He has been in many different levels and positions at the co-op, and he is familiar with its workings. With this job comes a great deal of responsibility – the person has to know and understand our system, be able to make major impact decisions pertaining to our system, and be able to handle emergency situations. We felt that Steve fit the bill perfectly and will do an excellent job for South Kentucky RECC in this position.”
