From Kansas Power Pool...
Big congratulations to Ellinwood City Administrator Chris Komarek for receiving the national Larry Hobart Seven Hats Award at the American Public Power Association (APPA) Conference in New Orleans. This award recognizes a manager who performs a variety of duties in communities of 2,500 or fewer electric meters.
Chris started as a line worker in 1982 and has dedicated over 40 years to serving Ellinwood — leading major infrastructure projects, guiding disaster recovery, and supporting his electric crew every step of the way. His commitment to both public power and his community is truly inspiring. Well done, Chris!
