After 22 years of service, Gibson Electric and Gibson Connect President and CEO Dan Rodamaker has announced his retirement effective May 1, 2026.

Rodamaker joined Gibson Electric Membership Corporation in August of 2003.

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve the members, employees and the board of trustees of Gibson Electric Membership Corporation,” Rodamaker said.

Notably, Rodamaker led Gibson Electric to form its broadband subsidiary in 2017. Since that time, Gibson Connect has provided high-speed internet access to the cooperative’s member-owners.

“We are happy we can deliver this essential service and bridge the rural divide for our Northwest Tennessee and Western Kentucky members,” Rodamaker said. “I’ve truly been blessed by the relationships with those who work in the cooperative family.”

Rodamaker and his wife, Kim, make their home in Trenton. They have three children and 11 grandchildren. The Gibson Electric and Gibson Connect Board of Trustees is in the process of selecting the next president and CEO.
