(KNZA)--Two area electric cooperatives are now sharing a general manager.
Jim Currie, of rural Horton, recently accepted a position as shared manager of both the Doniphan Electric Cooperative Association and Brown-Atchison Electric Cooperative Association.
Doniphan Electric reached out to the Brown-Atchison Board about the possibility of the two cooperatives sharing Currie as a manager after their longtime manager, Arlan Mitchell, got sick. Mitchell, who had served as general manager of the cooperative since 1998, died November 2nd of this year.
Currie has worked for the Brown-Atchison Electric Cooperative since 1978 holding various positions—including that of general manager since 2013.
Currie told the Kansas Chief he currently plans to send one to two days week at the Doniphan Electric Office in Troy and the rest of the week at the Brown-Atchison Electric Office in Horton.
Currie stressed that the two cooperatives have not merged and will continue to operate as two separate entities.
