Craig Campbell appointed to MEA�s board

	PALMER - By unanimous consent, Matanuska Electric Association's Board
of Directors appointed Craig Campbell of Eagle River to fill a board
seat vacant since May 5. Campbell was appointed at a Nov. 17 special
meeting and will be sworn in Dec. 8. He attended the co-op's budget work
sessions.

	The board had reviewed applications submitted by 19 MEA members, then
interviewed two finalists on Nov. 10, Campbell and Henry "Hank" Warren,
also of Eagle River. Warren withdrew his name from consideration for
personal reasons.

	A senior aviation/project manager for CH2M Hill, Campbell served from
1986 to 1996 on the Anchorage Assembly, twice as chairman. He has served
on the Anchorage Economic Development Corp. board of directors, in the
Alaska Air National Guard and as an instructor with Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University.

	"I am very pleased to welcome Mr. Campbell to the board," said board
Vice President Barbara J. "Tamie" Miller. �He is very knowledgable and
has dealt with utilities in his past experience as an Anchorage
Assemblyman. He truly has the interests of MEA�s consumers at heart.�

	In addition to Campbell and Warren, six MEA members from the
Chugiak-Eagle River area applied for the board seat left vacant when
Theodore "Ted" Carlson resigned:
 Karen W. Hessert and Jack W. Smith, both of Chugiak; and Eagle River
residents William R. "Bill" Lester, Bernard E. Mater, Gerry O'Connor and
Thomas G. Staudenmaier.

	The other applicants were Jerry M. Anderson and Jerry D. Nelson, both
of Houston; Leo VonScheben of Big Lake; Palmer residents Rose M. "Tiny"
DePriest, David H. Glenn, R. Ole Larson, Phillip D. Prickett and Robert
W. Shumaker; Robert A. Doyle, Thomas B. Knowles and Michael D. Peterson,
all of Wasilla.
