Two directors were re-elected to new three-year terms at Hardy Telecommunications’ Annual Meeting of Members on October 7.
Those directors re-elected were Loring E. Barr, representing South Fork serving area 1; and Victoria O. Dyer, representing Lost River serving area 3. Both were unopposed in their bids for re-election.
Also, during a board meeting immediately following the annual meeting, Moorefield serving area 2 representative Greg Zirk was elected as the new board president. Phyllis Cook, representing South Fork serving area 2, chose not to remain as board president after serving in that capacity for two decades. Phyllis is still a member of the board.
Controller Don Whetzel gave a presentation on the finances of Hardy Telecommunications and HardyNet for 2010. General Manager Scott Sherman reported on various company projects in the past year, including Hardy’s OneNet Fiber-to-the-Home project, which will enable Hardy for the first time to offer high-definition digital television, much faster Internet speeds and digital voice services. Hardy OneNet is a three-year project for the entire county, but Scott said he hoped the first residents would begin receiving service in summer 2012.
The meeting was held at the East Hardy High School gymnasium. About 500 people attended the meeting and enjoyed a meal featuring barbecue pork, prepared and served by the East Hardy High Band Boosters and FFA. We sincerely appreciate their help in making our annual meeting a success. Thanks to all who attended!
