With the retirement of Sherryl Rhinesmith (see story on page 7), the staff of the shared communications and marketing team of Noble and LaGrange County REMCs have changed titles and added a new member.

Kevin Dreibelbis, with 25 years of experience in cooperative communications, will now lead the team as the communications and marketing manager. Nic Engle, who has been a part of the shared services team since its inception, will serve as marketing coordinator. Energy Advisor Brian Hawk will continue to assist the department.

Kelly Lynch

The joint communications and marketing department also welcomed Kelly Lynch, see photo at right, to the staff as a communications specialist on Feb. 12.

Lynch is responsible for writing articles for the monthly Electric Consumer, corresponding with members about new programs and incentives, and assisting in planning local programs and the REMC’s annual meeting.

A rural Wolcottville resident, Lynch is a graduate of Central Noble High School and Franklin College, where she earned her bachelor’s degrees in journalism and theater. She most recently served as a reporter for KPC Media Group Inc., covering western Noble County.
