Celebrating Gerry Bieker’s Remarkable Journey at KMEA

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Gerry Bieker from KMEA. Gerry has been an integral part of our team since August 31, 2016, when he joined as the Manager of Member Services. His dedication has significantly contributed to KMEA’s growth over the years.

Gerry’s journey with KMEA has been marked by numerous achievements. His passion for public power manifested itself in the KMEA’s lineman program, which he was instrumental in developing. On November 1, 2021, he was promoted to Managing Director of Electric Operations.

Prior to joining KMEA, Gerry worked in the municipal public sector for an impressive 36 years. His extensive experience and deep understanding of public utilities have been invaluable assets to our organization.

As Gerry prepares to retire, we reflect on his vital contributions and the positive impact he has had on our organization. His last day with KMEA will be December 23, 2024. While we will miss his friendship, calming presence, and sense of humor, we are excited for Gerry as he embarks on this new chapter of his life. He is ready to spend more quality time with his family, especially his new grandson Fynn, and enjoy time at the lake.

Please join us in celebrating Gerry’s remarkable career and wishing him all the best in his retirement. His contributions will be remembered for years to come.

Thank you, Gerry, for your dedication and service to KMEA. You will always be a friend and a cherished member of our KMEA family. We will miss you for sure.
