About this listen

Leadership born from experience stands at the heart of our latest Flippin' the Switch episode featuring Ricky Maready, Jones-Onslow EMC's new CEO who brings an extraordinary 37 years of cooperative service to his role. Ricky's journey from load management technician to chief executive offers a masterclass in understanding electric cooperative operations from the ground up. This front-row seat to Jones-Onslow's evolution has shaped his leadership philosophy, which he summarizes beautifully as focusing on "the little old lady at the end of the line" – ensuring that every member receives equal attention regardless of size or influence.

The episode takes a meaningful turn as we spotlight the cooperative's Bright Ideas grant program for teachers with Community and Communications Director Krystal Phillips. Whether you're curious about the cooperative's leadership transition, community development, or educational support initiatives, this episode showcases how Jones-Onslow continues evolving while remaining true to our cooperative principles. Ready to learn more about the people and programs that make your electric cooperative special? Listen now and discover the stories behind the service.
