After an extensive search for its next leader, the Cooperative Light & Power (CLP) board of directors recently announced the permanent appointment of Carey Hogenson as chief executive officer (CEO).

“We are proud to announce Carey as our next CEO,” said CLP Board Chair Roger Peterson. “Her deep business knowledge, understanding of the energy industry and 30 years of dedicated service to CLP gave the board great confidence in this decision. We are certain Carey will uphold our mission and provide the leadership needed to guide CLP through both opportunities and challenges ahead.”
The board had previously appointed Hogenson as interim CEO in June. Prior to her current position, she served as CLP’s member services and human resources manager in addition to roles in billing, collections and marketing throughout her tenure with the cooperative.
“I am truly humbled and honored to serve as the next CEO of CLP,” Hogenson said. “Our focus will remain on delivering safe, reliable and affordable power to our members. I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff and strengthening relationships with our members, partners and communities.”
