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. Michael Callahan Executive Vice President/CEO Scan this QR barcode to view our electronic version of the 2012 roster.

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.
