New Appointments to County Nominating Boards
Grandey
Davis
We are pleased to announce the appointment of new members to the county nominating boards in Miami and Shelby counties, following recent changes to Pioneer’s Code of Regulations.
In March 2025, the Code of Regulations was updated to allow county boards to fill vacated nominating board seats. Both the Miami and Shelby County Boards have moved forward with appointments to unfilled seats.
In Shelby County, Dennis Grandey has been appointed to fill the seat that had remained vacant since 2023. Grandey will serve a one year to complete the term and will be eligible for nomination for the 2026 election.
In Miami County, Grant Davis has been appointed to the seat vacated by Bob Zimmerman, who has resigned from the board due to relocating outside of Pioneer’s service territory. Zimmerman was re-elected in 2025, therefore Davis will serve the full three-year term.
With these appointments, all three counties now have a full 12-member nominating boards for the current term.
“Member engagement remains essential to the cooperative’s governance model—member participation helps ensure our board and leadership reflect the values and priorities of the communities we serve,” said Jodi Borger, Pioneer manager of communications and marketing. “We thank Dennis and Grant for their commitment to service and look forward to their contributions.”
