“Adding Tamla to Century’s Board is a big win for the Company,” said Jesse Gary, President and CEO of Century. “Tamla brings significant expertise in the electric and gas utility industries, providing the Company with great insight into electric power generation markets, which are critical components of our cost structure. Tamla additionally brings a vast knowledge of human resources and organizational development expertise to Century, and we look forward to working together.”

We wish Shelly and her family the best as she transitions to retirement.”
