Why Dave supports Keith Woods for the SRP Board of Directors
SRP has been around since 1903. My grandfather was born here in 1891, so we’ve been around a long time also. Salt River Project started out as a water company, building the dams and supplying irrigation to the valley. Secondary was the power, yet the power has bloomed and expanded, until it’s huge now. So, Salt River Project has the most reliable, inexpensive water and power in Arizona, and in most of the country as one of the most well run. A board member, to work on here, needs to understand our history, our legacy, where we are at today and where we going, and that’s a big challenge as we continue to grow in Arizona.
It’s a multifaceted area with a hundred thousand people a year moving here, and it takes somebody who can understand that, and Keith Woods, who I have been associated with for many years, is a great board member. He understands this. He listens to people. He speaks to the issue, and I feel that he is very fair, and he understands what needs to be done.
Keith shows great compassion for people. He understands their issues.

We had an experience here recently of interviewing to find a new general manager / CEO and Keith was the head of that committee and I was very impressed with his leadership, his ability to bring a contested situation together and have people think reasonably and be able to conduct that in a manner that was very pleasing to myself and to those involved. Keith shows great compassion for people. He understands their issues. He knows that water is the most important thing here in this valley, and in this state and power is also. I can recommend Keith Woods very highly to continue to serve as a board member at Salt River Project.
