District #4

James Meredith (Incumbent)

James “Jamie” Meredith, of Trafalgar, is the incumbent director seeking your support for re-election in District 4.

As a board member, my goal is to use my knowledge and understanding gained through my past 8 years on the board to carry on the vision of JCREMC to be the most efficient, customer oriented, and forward-thinking utility in the State of Indiana. In keeping with that vision, I am honored to serve one of the most recognized and progressive cooperatives in the State, all while providing stable rates and exceptional reliability.

I have been a 20-year member of JCREMC. I’ve been a dedicated JCREMC board member, actively participating and representing JCREMC at the local, regional and national levels, holding various committee assignments and the offices of secretary, treasurer, and vice chairman, and serving as JCREMC’s representative on Hoosier Energy’s board of directors (JCREMC’s wholesale energy provider). I have earned my Credentialed Cooperative Director and Board Leadership certifications from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

For the past 20 years, I have been the owner and managing funeral director of my family-owned business, Meredith-Clark Funeral Home in Morgantown, and my family is a longtime supporter of community involvement, local non-profit organizations and school activities.

A graduate of Indian Creek High School, I hold a bachelor’s degree in business administration from University of Southern Indiana and a degree from Mid-America Mortuary College.

My wife Angela and I have two children, Hunter (22) Junior at USI and Gracee (17) Junior at Indian Creek High School.

Greg Fennig

My name is Greg Fennig and I am seeking your vote as a candidate for the JCREMC Board of Directors. My wife Donna and I have been residents of Johnson County for over 30 years, raising all three of our children in the area. We love this community and are committed to making it better every day.

JCREMC is an outstanding organization. I believe my background makes me a great candidate to continue exceptional service to our customers and community. I have over 15 years of senior leadership experience in the utility industry. My experience includes Energy Efficiency, Customer Service, Community Engagement, External and Internal Communications, Marketing and Supply Chain. I have been actively involved with the Central Indiana community serving on numerous boards championing critical issues, including Affordable Housing, Food Insecurity, Economic Development, Community Leadership, Neighborhood Enhancement and Parks.

I recently retired and see engagement with JCREMC as another way to serve our community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to seeing you on April 15 at our Annual Meeting.
