McCormick to succeed Foxwell next year in ACEC leadership role

The Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative (ACEC) Board of Directors has announced the selection of its current Manager of Economic Development and Community Relations Hollee McCormick as the individual who will succeed current Executive Vice President/General Manager (EVP/GM) Paul Foxwell following his anticipated retirement in May of next year. McCormick has been employed at the Cooperative for the past four years.

McCormick has gained valuable experience working under the current EVP/GM, and the Board’s early selection of her to succeed Foxwell will allow ample opportunity for further training and development. The Cooperative is pleased to have the opportunity to select an individual that is well-known to the Cooperative, its existing employees, and its members. McCormick lives in the community, is a Cooperative member, and therefore is very familiar with the area and the issues that are important to the membership.

Prior to joining the Cooperative, McCormick was the Director of the NICC Center in Waukon from 2007-2014. McCormick is an Executive Member of the Governor and Lt. Governor’s “Empower Rural Iowa” Initiative, as well as a committee member on the “Connecting Rural Iowa” task force. McCormick earned her bachelor of arts degree from Luther College and her master’s degree in organization management with an emphasis in leadership from Ashford University.

McCormick is a resident of Harpers Ferry. She is a board member of the Allamakee County Economic Development Corporation, serves on the Clayton and Allamakee County Business and Educator Sector Boards, and serves as a representative for northeast Iowa on the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives - Grassroots Advocacy Council. She is married to Michael McCormick and they have three children, Reese, Tade and Olivia.
