SOLON- January 31, 2012 — North Ridgeville Mayor G. David Gillock has been appointed to serve on the Board of Directors for the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC).
Gillock, who will represent Lorain County on the NOPEC board, brings significant leadership experience. The mayor has served as a Board Member of the Ohio Municipal League, Vice President of the Lorain County Community Alliance and as a Member of the Ohio State Auditor's Advisory Committee. His extensive community involvement also includes serving as a Member of the Fairview Hospital Community Advisory Board, an Honorary Member of the North Ridgeville Chamber of Commerce and as a Member of the North Ridgeville City Schools Strategic Planning Committee.
Mayor Gillock is an excellent leader and community advocate, said Chuck Keiper, Executive Director of NOPEC. His experience working in the public sector and his dedication to his community position him to make impactful contributions for the NOPEC community.
NOPEC is the largest governmental aggregation in the nation, representing 162 communities throughout 10 Northeast Ohio counties. Non-profit NOPEC negotiates electricity and natural gas agreements to provide low rates and long-term stability for members.
Mayor Gillock said he was very pleased with the appointment. NOPEC is a critical asset to our region in today's economy, he said. I look forward to working with NOPEC to find new and innovative ways to save money through lower utility costs for our residents and businesses in Lorain County and throughout Northeast Ohio.
Mayor Gillock earned his Engineering Technology Bachelor of Science Degree from Southern Illinois University. He served in the United States Army from 1970 – 1972.
Norwalk Mayor Rob Duncan was also appointed to the NOPEC board of directors. Mayor Duncan will represent Huron County.
NOPEC is the largest non-profit government energy aggregation in the nation and uses no taxpayer dollars. Since its inception in 2000, NOPEC has aggressively used bulk buying techniques to reduce energy costs by nearly $100 million for northeast Ohio consumers — helping to make our region more affordable and more economically competitive. NOPEC is perhaps the best example today of successful regional cooperation in northeast Ohio.
