Cobb EMC's board of directors decided last week to form a committee to review the details of the proposed transparency initiative — one of several proposed by CEO Chip Nelson — before taking any action.

Tuesday’s meeting was the first meeting for three of the four new board members elected earlier this month. Cheryl Meadows was unable to attend. The three new members will join two incumbents on the study committee.

The board also formalized the date for the upcoming annual meeting on Feb. 18, when elections will be held for three more board seats.

Kay Anderson was also elected secretary/treasurer of the board, replacing Al Fortney who did not seek re-election.
