Final two board members elected for Cobb EMC

Cobb EMC members elected the final two members of the co-op’s 10-member board on Saturday in a runoff election.

Tripper Sharp, one of the members who sued the company in 2007, and David McClellan were selected to fill the seats. The election represents a full turnover on the board, which now has 10 new members and no incumbent directors. Sharp and McClellan will serve until 2016.

The new board will hold a town hall meeting for members on Tuesday night at the EMC offices in Marietta.
