FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SPRINGFIELD, MO. – Mike Miller, former chief financial officer and director of accounting and finance at Associated Electric Cooperative, has retired after 12 years with the wholesale power supply cooperative.

At the time of his retirement, Miller was special assistant to the general manager and chief executive officer, a position that allowed him to focus on special projects and tax abatement opportunities that benefited both Associated and the communities where natural gas plants were built.

Miller’s career flourished at a time when Associated brought on line several natural gas generating units and partnered with the developer of Missouri’s first wind farms by providing transmission and long-term purchase agreements.

He helped borrow, refinance or initiate short-term borrowings of about $1 billion for Associated and secure the cooperative’s critical AA bond ratings from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.

Before joining the cooperative, Miller was vice president of finance 14 years at Silver Dollar City. He also worked as an auditor for Deloitte & Touche and as controller or treasurer for several manufacturing companies.

Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. is owned by and provides wholesale power to six regional and 51 local electric cooperative systems in Missouri, southeast Iowa and northeast Oklahoma that serve more than 875,000 customers. AECI’s mission is to provide an economical and reliable power supply and support services to its members, including its “Take Control & Save“ energy efficiency program, www.TakeControlAndSave.coop. AECI is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.
