EDMOND — Edmond Electric announced this week that nine members of its electric distribution line crew were awarded a Certification in Electric Distribution Supervision from the Municipal Electric Systems of Oklahoma.

Dean Sherrick, distribution superintendent for Edmond Electric, said, “The MESO Electric Supervisor Development Program is part of our succession plan. It is an effort to increase the likelihood that current members of the workforce will be competitive when promotional opportunities occur and to ensure the availability of talent is abundant with qualified candidates.”
“Our succession plan is an ongoing, dynamic process that helps align our organization’s goals and human capital needs,” Sherrick said. “It is our goal to have an effective and highly focused strategy that results in continued performance excellence.”
