The Chugach Electric Association Board of Directors has appointed Harold Hollis to fill a vacancy on the board. A civil engineer and Alaska resident for more than 35 years, Hollis was sworn in at the board’s July 25 meeting. Hollis is replacing Sisi Cooper who resigned from the board last month.

Hollis is currently the Vice President, Construction & Engineering for NANA Development Corporation in Anchorage. He has also previously worked as Vice President for WHPacific, Inc., and as Senior Vice President at Coffman Engineers, Inc.

“Harold’s years of experience in leadership, management, strategic growth, business development, engineering, and operations will be a great addition to the board,” said Board Chair Bettina Chastain. “His technical background and project management expertise will serve our members and the association well.”

Hollis was selected by the board from a pool of five applicants who were interviewed earlier this month.  In accordance with the Chugach bylaws, Hollis is appointed to serve until the next Chugach Annual Election which is in May 2019. At that time, two seats on the board will be open for four-year terms.
