Glenn E. Ridder of Marthasville, a director for Cuivre River Electric Cooperative, Troy, from 1986-2015, was honored with the A.C. Burrows Award by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) at that organization’s annual meeting Oct. 9 in Branson.The purpose of the award is to recognize directors and employees of electric cooperatives for outstanding service to their cooperative, community and service areas. Those who received the award were selected because of their leadership above and beyond the call of duty to strengthen and improve the economic and social conditions in their areas.Ridder was appointed to Cuivre River Electric Cooperative’s Board of Directors in September 1986 following the untimely death of his predecessor. He completed the term and was then elected to serve nine more terms for a total of 29 years on the board. He served as secretary-treasurer from 1991 until his retirement in 2015.Ridder was among the first participants in the Agricultural Leadership of Tomorrow program. He was committed to learning about the cooperative utility industry and became a Certified Credentialed Director. He endorsed the REA loan buyout in 1987, supported the expansion of Cuivre River Electric’s range of services and witnessed a significant equity increase. His dedication to community is marked by his continued support for the National Rural Electric Youth Tour and Operation Round-Up.The award is named for the late Audrian Cleon Burrows of Van Buren, Mo., who rose through the ranks to become general manager of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, which is the statewide service organization for Missouri’s 48 electric cooperatives. Burrows served in this position from 1968 to 1976. He was recognized as an outstanding leader in rural electrification and as a distinguished individual who dedicated his life to helping others.The Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, Jefferson City, is the statewide service organization for Missouri’s electric cooperatives.
