The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Executive Search Committee and the board of directors of Wasco Electric Cooperative are pleased to announce the selection of Lindsay Forepaugh as general manager.
Lindsay, a native Oregonian, succeeds Ned Ratterman, who served in the role for 2 years.
“It is exciting to bring Lindsay to Wasco Electric,” WEC Board President Michael Collins says. “We know she will be a great asset to our cooperative and are happy she has decided to move back to Oregon and be a part of our co-op family.”
Before joining Wasco Electric, Lindsay served as chief relations officer for Delta-Montrose Electric Association in Montrose, Colorado. She was previously the chief financial officer for High West Energy of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.
Before her role at HWE, Lindsay worked for 6 years in the oil and gas industry.
She held various titles, ranging from supply chain manager to internal auditor. In many of her roles, she was responsible for high-level strategic planning.
Lindsay’s educational accomplishments include a doctorate in business administration from Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business.
Lindsay begins leading the cooperative on January 1, 2024.
