Our Broad River Electric Cooperative family came together to celebrate the retirement of Terry Mallard and recognize his 10 years of dedicated leadership and service.

In true South Carolina fashion, the celebration included a company-wide low country boil and time spent together reflecting on Terry’s impact across the co-op.

One of the most meaningful moments from the event was Terry being presented with the Order of the Palmetto from Freddie Gault on behalf of Congressman Rep. Ralph Norman – South Carolina’s highest civilian honor.

We’re grateful for leaders like Terry and for opportunities to come together as a company to celebrate our people!

“At Broad River, not only do I get an opportunity for a four-year program to learn how to be a lineman, but I’m also getting on-the-job experience. It’s something different every day.” –Trevor Sharrett, Broad River Electric Lineman

Our communities keep moving forward because linemen like Trevor never hesitate to step in and get the job done. Every lineman plays a vital role to restore and shape the places we call home, no matter the conditions.
