Grant PUD Selects Rich Wallen to Serve as CEO

Grant PUD commissioners are appointing Rich Wallen as the PUD's general manager and chief executive officer. Wallen has been serving in the interim capacity since the start of 2022.

"He has the experience. He knows the district and employees well," said Judy Jones, board president. "He just has all around knowledge and someone who is familiar with the area. He felt he had everything needed in a future manager."

Wallen has been serving the district since 2017.

Former general manager Kevin Nordt vacated the position to focus on his health and take on another role.
