Managerial Staff

Responsibilities

The managerial staff at BARC is headed up by the CEO Bruce King, who has been with BARC since 2003. His duties include the oversight of the overall operations of BARC. He works closely with the Board of Directors in setting the strategy and direction of the Co-op. He then takes the policies and initiatives established by the board and makes sure they are carried out in a safe manner and within budget. The manager of member services, the manager of finance, and the manager of operations all report directly to Bruce.
The manager of member services, Jamie Lowry, has been with BARC since 1996. Jamie's duties include oversight of the Billing Department, the IT Department and the Warehouse and Garage areas. As his title implies, he has a lot of interaction with the office supervisor and the member service representatives. Jamie always enjoys talking with the members, whether it is about their bills, potential internet service, or ways they can try to control their electric consumption to help control their cost of electricity. He also works with Mike Smith on the safety display and is looking for opportunities to come out into the community to present energy saving methods.
The manager of finance is Vicky Fitzgerald, who has been with BARC since 2004. Vicky has held several different positions with BARC and has had twice as many titles for her duties. She is responsible for financing, accounting, accounts receivable and payroll. She also has the staff secretary responsibilities and the human resources responsibilities.
Dale Meyer, the manager of operations, has been with BARC since 2006. Dale's duties involve oversight of the Construction Department, Technical Services Department, Service Department, and Staking Department. He is responsible for seeing that the work plan gets completed within budget and procuring contracts for Right of Way work, as well as some construction projects.
