Congratulations to our CEO, Doug Childs!
Join us in celebrating Doug Childs as he begins a well-deserved retirement after eight years of dedicated service to our cooperative.
Doug's leadership has left a lasting mark on our cooperative and his positive impact will be felt for years to come. From championing transparency to leading the team through transformative change, Doug played a key role in redefining our mission, values, and strategy for the future.
During his time as CEO, Doug helped forge fiber partnerships, supported local economic development, improved vegetation management, and worked hard to build stronger relationships with our members.
Doug leaves behind a lasting legacy — one of integrity, vision, and deep care for both our members and our mission. His steady leadership, and passion for serving others helped shape a better future for our co-op, and we are truly grateful.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Doug’s wife, Tricia, for her support throughout his tenure. The commitment and sacrifices made by spouses often go unseen, but they are deeply appreciated by the entire UDWI family.
Thank you, Doug. Wishing you the very best as you begin this next chapter in life. You've certainly earned it.
Note: The UDWI office will close at 3 p.m. on July 2 to allow employees to celebrate Doug's retirement.
