The IAEC Board announces Ethan Hohenadel as Interim Executive Vice President/General Manager following the resignation of Leslie Kaufman on Nov. 4.

Ethan has worked as IAEC for 18 years, most recently as Director of Policy & Advocacy. He earned his Juris Doctor degree from the Mitchell Hamline School of Law and his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance from the University of Iowa. Ethan is also a recent graduate of NRECA's Management Internship Program.

IAEC Board President Tony Lem remarked, “We are fortunate to have an experienced leader like Ethan step into the interim role. As a long-time employee, he understands the needs of our members and the staff, and the board is confident that he will provide steady management during this transition."

In a statement to IAEC members and staff announcing her resignation, Kaufman shares, “I have said many times before, the best job in the world is serving in an electric cooperative statewide association, and to have done that in Iowa has been a tremendous honor. I wish the association, board, staff and members much success.”

 “It has been a privilege to work with Leslie these past two years. Her experience will be missed, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors,” stated Lem.
