What do you do outside of serving on Dawson PPD’s Board of Directors?

I’m in a farming partnership with my brother. We primarily farm corn and soybeans and manage some pasture. My wife, Alynn, has been operating an in-home daycare for the last 35 years. We enjoy trying to keep up with our adult children and the grandkids.

What made you want to serve on the Dawson PPD Board of Directors?

Actually, I was approached many years ago by Jack Ludden, a former Dawson PPD Board Member. He asked if I would be interested in taking his place on the board. I had a young family at that time and was uncertain but my dad, Ivan Brodine, encouraged me. I have never regretted becoming a director as it has been educational and rewarding to be a part of a progressive organization whose primary function is to serve the customer.

What is your favorite memory serving on the board thus far?

This organization has created many fond memories, but I’m especially proud of the board, managers, staff and all employees that work so diligently to keep reliable energy to the district. Dawson PPD’s “System Aging Program” – being able to replace infrastructure while keeping rates affordable – is probably the most visible to me.

What are your top three priorities for Dawson PPD?

Public Power is here to stay. Governance will always be involved, serving the customers and flexible enough to adjust to whatever is thrown at it. There will always be a need for dispersion and the service of providing energy no matter how it is produced.
