“We were very fortunate to have excellent candidates for the position,” said Board President Jim Neu. “The board unanimously agreed that Pat had the experience, knowledge, and skills that would be the best fit for BEC. We are excited to have him join our team and have full confidence in him to help us face any challenges in BEC’s future.”
