Jim Wallace has been named president and CEO of Coles-Moultrie Electric Cooperative (CMEC). With more than 25 years of service at CMEC, Wallace is poised to continue to lead the cooperative in meeting the needs of the co-op’s consumer-members.
Wallace was hired at CMEC in 1998 as a marketing services specialist. In 2002, he became the cooperative’s director of operations and engineering, holding that position until he was named interim president and CEO in December 2024.
“We are excited to welcome Jim to his new role,” said CMEC Board Chair Kent Metzger. “The board is confident that he will bring the right blend of leadership, vision and experience to guide us forward while remaining deeply committed to serving our members.”
“I am honored to be named the next president and CEO at CMEC,” said Wallace. “I would like to thank the board of directors for this opportunity and their support. I believe very strongly in the cooperative model and look forward to contributing to the continued success of CMEC alongside [its] very committed and professional staff.”
