Things aren’t as simple as they used to be. I appreciate tradition and traditional values. SMECO, which dates to 1937, has a tradition of providing great service at affordable rates. That’s the cooperative way. We make our decisions based on what’s best for our customers. Our Call Center is a good example of this. We want the personal touch, but we also want to provide the best service to all our customers. Growth made the Call Center necessary.
We need to figure out a way to manage the growth of the county and the state while staying on top of providing service to the many people who move into the area. They expect good reliability, customer service, and low rates. We can’t stop progress, and we have the ability to plan for growth.
Danny Dyer, who represents Prince George’s County on SMECO’s Board of Directors, has served as chairman since July 2003. Dyer has a long career in state and local government and, before retirement, served as an aide to the Maryland Secretary of State. He was also an aide to the chairman of Prince George’s County Council and county executive. He is a retired appraiser for the Maryland State Department of Assessment.
Past chairman of Prince George’s County Democratic Central Committee, Dyer also was a member of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee for U.S. Route 301.
Dyer attended the University of Maryland and Prince George’s Community College. His love of sports has kept him involved in athletics his entire life, beginning with high school sports, and more recently including tennis and golf. He served in the Maryland National Guard for six years.
Dyer received his National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s director’s certification in 1999. |
