It has recently come to our attention that Leslie Haga and Kelly Kirschnick, were terminated from employment with Central Virginia Electric Cooperative after providing exemplary customer service to the local community for more than 15 years. Though we are not aware of the specifics of their termination, and we understand that it is the policy of Central Virginia Electric Cooperative that personnel matters not be made public, we are requesting reconsideration of your decision.

We, the member owners, community members, friends and family respectfully request more consideration in the decision regarding Mrs. Haga and Ms. Kirschnick’s termination of employment. Given that Central Virginia Electric Cooperative was formed by local citizen and community members back in 1937, who believed that providing electric service and exemplary customer service to the community members of rural Virginia were of the upmost importance. On your website it states “The Cooperative operates on a not-for-profit basis, returning margins (the difference between revenues and cost) to its member through capital credits. CVEC has a tradition of keeping margins and costs low while providing great service to members.”

So, we ask you, the Board of Directors to please take into consideration our voices, regarding the termination of two of your employees who have gone above and beyond to help the local citizens in regards to their electrical service with Central Virginia Electric Cooperative.
