01/06/2006

Bill Duncan, the 23-three-year general manager and CEO for Licking Valley Rural Electric Corporation in West Liberty, Kentucky stepped aside on January 3 following a fifty year career in Kentucky's electric cooperative system.

Bill first took employment at Kentucky electric co-op systems' statewide organization, the Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperatives (KAEC), in its manufacturing plant in 1956. He worked his way through the organization becoming controller in the Financial Services Department several years before he was selected as CEO of Licking Valley in 1984.

Bill Duncan will be best known by his colleagues, co-workers and employees as a tireless individual who endeavored to enhance customer services, employee standards and working conditions for Licking Valley RECC.

Bill Duncan has lived the co-op life. He has always been driven to work hard and never took his responsibilities lightly during his five decades of service. As KAEC President Ron Sheets stated at Bill’s retirement party, “You always knew while Bill Duncan was general manager that you could rely on and be secure in the feeling that he would take care of and personally oversee any problem that arose at Licking Valley RECC.”

Succeeding Bill as CEO is Kerry Howard. Kerry joined the cooperative in 1993 and most recently has been serving as Manager of Finance and Administration.
