Dennis Gonzalez was recently selected to join the Medina Electric Cooperative Board of Directors, representing Voting District 3. He attended his first board meeting in October, following the announcement of his appointment at the cooperative’s 86th annual membership meeting October 4 in Rio Grande City.
Gonzalez, a Rio Grande City resident, is an experienced real estate development executive with over 20 years in both the private sector and public service. His experience in land development, zoning and infrastructure stems from his current work leading residential and commercial projects and his 15 years of public service as Starr County clerk and county planner. Gonzalez’s commitment to leadership and regulatory frameworks is further demonstrated by his appointments to the Rio Grande City Planning and Zoning Commission and the Texas Task Force on Uniform County Subdivision Regulations.
Each October, the board elects officers following the annual election. Ken Weynand was reelected president, and Larry Huesser was reelected vice president. Mickey Holzhaus was elected to be the board secretary-treasurer. Additionally, Weynand and Huesser were selected to represent Medina EC on the boards of San Miguel Electric Cooperative and South Texas Electric Cooperative, respectively.
Medina EC is governed by a nine-member board, with three directors representing each voting district. Directors serve three-year terms, with one position from each district up for election annually.
