MISSISSIPPI 2012

LEGISLATIVE ROSTER Serving as the voice of more than 1.8 million Mississippians @e voice of the people was the foundation on which electric power associations were built more than 70 years ago. Our membership’s voice has served as the guiding force for our success and is the key to our future. We will never lose sight of the importance of listening and responding to those we serve.

We are the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi, a statewide trade organization serving as the unified voice of all electric cooperatives in Mississippi. Our most important role, however, is representing the more than 1.8 million Mississippians we serve. @ey are hard working, strong in values and courageous in their efforts to ensure Mississippi continues to be a great place to live and work. It is in this same spirit that we serve as their voice with elected officials.

We salute the more than 2,850 electric power association employees — all Mississippians — who work tirelessly to ensure each member is provided high-quality and reliable electric service at the least cost possible. @ey serve with acommitment not only to their organization but to the communities and areas they call home.

We will continue to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to com- mon goals to ensure all Mississippians enjoy the benefits offered by electric power. Because together we have the power to move Mississippi forward.

2012 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER

The work of an elected official is not unlike that of a fine artisan. Both employ specialized skills and knowledge in problem-solving. Essential to the success of their efforts, whether legislative or artistic endeavors, are innovation, functionality and appeal. The Electric Power Associations of Mississippi presents the 2012 Legislative Roster as a tribute to Mississippi’s elected officials, who serve for the benefit of all Mississippians.

* Appropriation, revenue, and local and private bills, and bills to restore suffrage are excluded from these deadlines. For purposes of the deadlines herein set forth, the term "revenue bills" shall include only those bills whose primary purpose is to increase or decrease taxes or to authorize the issuance of bonds or the borrowing of money. Bills which are primarily for regulatory purposes which have revenue provisions included shall not be considered as revenue bills for deadline purposes. The deletion from a bill of the features which made it a revenue bill shall render the bill a general bill for deadline purposes.

** Conference reports on all bills must be filed with the Secretary/Clerk no later than the time of adjournment on the day prior to being called up and considered.

GLORIA WELCH JAY GILLILAND restaurant owner grocery store owner East Mississippi EPA 4-County EPA One day each month... some 225 men and women across Mississippi gather in the board room of their local electric power association. @ey leave behind their farms, small businesses, offices and homes to tend to the business of ensuring reliable, affordable electric service for more than 1.8 million Mississippians. @ese men and women serve on the boards of the 26 electric power associations serving Mississippi. @ey are electric power association members elected to the board by the membership. By taking part in the annual election, electric power association members exercise their right to participate in the governance of their cooperative. Each electric power association board reflects the unique nature of its service area. Yet all electric power association boards share a common mission: • to deliver reliable service to members at a competitive rate • to work for the sustainable development of the communities they serve • to ensure the financial stability of the cooperative by employing prudent business practices and new technology. So, whether discussing cost-control measures or energy- efficiency strategies, electric power association directors keep members’ concerns foremost when making decisions.
