Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).
His first day with Canvas was Monday.
“We are in a war for talent. Our leaders are always out connecting and growing our networks to find the very best family members. Chris served on our board and his extensive experience with the Colorado Divisions of Banking and Financial Services provided great insight,” Canvas CEO Todd Marksberry said in a prepared statement. “Chris possesses a rare combination of vision and enthusiasm for big possibilities along with a razor-sharp focus on managing risk. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have him join our family,”
The credit union’s operations include local branches in Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Broomfield and Brighton. It has about 232,000 members and 529 employees. Canvas has nearly $2.6 billion in assets, according to the National Credit Union Administration.
