Continental native Ford joins Paulding Putnam Electric Co-op as member service representative

Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative is proud to welcome full-time Member Service Representative Laura (Laurie) Ford to the team. Hired in late September, Laurie will be working up front and assisting members with inquires and service orders.

Laurie and her husband, Gary, reside in Continental with their four dogs.

With 17 years of experience as a 911 dispatcher for Putnam County followed by a stint with St Rita’s Communications/Dispatch, Laurie makes a perfect addition to the PPEC co-op family.

“When I saw the job posting, I was immediately interested in the position because of how involved PPEC is with the community,” Laurie said. “I’ve worked 24/7/365 for the past 30+ years, so I’m very excited to be here. I can’t wait to interact with the members and get involved.”

A fan of classic county vinyl, Laurie loves being outside. Her hobbies include gardening, fishing, camping, repurposing furniture, and cruising around in her jeep with the top down.

Her motto? “Treat every day like it’s your last day: Have fun and smile!”
