Pattison, Sugg Up For Nemont Board
Nemont is hosting board of directors voting and meet-the-candidates activities Wednesday, June 10, at the Nemont Gold Garage in Scobey. Jeff Pattison and Levi Sugg are up for board seats.
Said a press release: “At Nemont, we leverage staggered terms for our board of directors to safeguard the momentum of vital, multiyear initiatives, such as our fiber-optic buildouts. This structure ensures a steady leadership team is always in place to see ambitious projects through to completion while remaining open to fresh perspectives.”
Pattison has served on the Nemont board for 10 years. “The challenging telecommunication industry is becoming more important and critical at the same time,” Pattison said. “Broadband demand, along with the ever-increasing use of cellular data and voice, is rising. The challenge of making an affordable difference for Nemont members, advocating for our way of life and needs in a competitive, changing marketplace is one of my greatest passions.”
Sugg said, “I’m running for a director position on the Nemont Telephone Co-op Board because I want to give back to the communities that have supported my family for four generations. For 22 years, I’ve worked as a power lineman in Glasgow. That’s given me firsthand, practical knowledge of the utility industry and the daily operations it takes to keep service reliable for our members. I understand the challenges our crews face in the field and the importance of longterm infrastructure planning, safety, and fiscal responsibility.”
A total of $3,000 in cash prizes and a Nintendo Switch 2 are among the prizes for audience members. Every child in attendance will have the opportunity to enter a special drawing for a chance to win. Qualified members in attendance will receive a $75 bill credit.
