In addition to her service on the CFEMC Board, Mallory was an original director of the Coweta-Fayette Trust / Operation Round Up® Board, helping establish a program that has become a cornerstone of the cooperative’s charitable giving and community outreach. She also served on CFEMC’s Finance Committee and Policy & Public Relations Committee, and contributed her leadership on the boards of CFEMC subsidiaries, including Relyco Resources, Inc. and True Natural Gas.
Mallory’s influence extended well beyond the local level. She served for 19 years on the Georgia EMC Board of Directors, holding all three officer positions, and previously served as Secretary/Treasurer on the advisory boards of Oglethorpe Power Corporation, Georgia Transmission Corporation, and Georgia System Operations Corporation. Her commitment to cooperative education and governance earned her numerous professional distinctions, including Credentialed Cooperative Director, Board Leadership certification, and Director Gold status.
“Alice Mallory’s service to Coweta-Fayette EMC and the members she represented is truly exceptional,” said Neal Shepard, Chairman of the CFEMC Board of Directors. “For more than three decades, Alice brought wisdom, integrity, and a genuine concern for people to every decision she helped make. She understood that being a director meant being a voice for the membership, and she carried that responsibility with grace, diligence, and heart.”
Mallory’s professional and civic life reflects a lifelong dedication to education and community service. She holds degrees from Auburn University and the University of West Georgia, along with additional certification from the University of Georgia, and spent 33 years as a respected educator. Her involvement in numerous civic and philanthropic organizations further reflects her commitment to the communities CFEMC serves.
To ensure continuity of leadership and governance, the CFEMC Board has appointed Chuck Johnson to fill Mallory’s unexpired term. Johnson brings extensive financial expertise and cooperative experience to the board, having served in leadership roles with CFEMC subsidiary True Natural Gas, including as Chairman of the Board. He is the owner of Chuck Johnson CPA and has a long record of community involvement, including service with organizations such as the Newnan Kiwanis Club, Habitat for Humanity, United Way, and the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.
“Chuck Johnson’s background, experience, and familiarity with our cooperative family make him a strong addition to the CFEMC Board,” Shepard said. “His leadership with True Natural Gas and his professional expertise will serve our members well as we continue to focus on sound governance, financial responsibility, and reliable service.”
