TVEC Board District 4

Derrick Hoelscher has been an active member of the Cedar Creek Lake Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club and the business community since moving to the area in 2000.

He was selected by the TVEC board to fill the district four seat after the sudden loss of Jo Ann Hanstrom.

“I just want to bring some value to the co-op as a board member and do the best I can for the co-op members,” Hoelscher said. “I enjoy being involved in the community, and it really becomes like a big family. That makes it something I really enjoy doing.”

Hoelscher is a graduate of Texas A&M with a background in business including running a dairy and his current career in insurance. Throughout his life and career he has been a member of several electric co-ops, and noted he still has a lot to learn for his role on the board.

“With all of the growth we are seeing,  we have to be looking ahead to be prepared and making sure we are ready to meet the demand,” he said. “That is true of the business sector, the schools and everyone trying to do the best with what they have.”

Hoelscher lives in southern Kaufman County with his wife Tana. They have a daughter and a son.
