Scott Bowers most recently worked as VP of Sales and Marketing for outdoor brand Smartwool, which is owed by VF Corp. But he is best known for the more than 25 years he spent at Oakley as the marketing leader responsible for Oakley’s brand identity worldwide, marketing strategies, e-commerce and demand creation. He was there for the whole crazy ride from the brand’s infancy to reaching over $1 billion in revenue.
Story City Municipal Electric Utility sees retirement of three longtime employees
Ames Tribune
Three longtime employees have worked a combined 86 years for the Story City Municipal Electric Utility, and they are retiring this winter and spring. Accounting clerk, Doretta Hoffman, has worked 35 years for the utility; line foreman, Tim Casperson, has worked there 30 years; and utility clerk, Kathy Casperson, 21 years.
Story City is one of just a few Iowa towns its size that has its own municipal electric utility.
“I think the people of Story City realize how lucky we are,” Kathy Casperson said. “Our linemen all live here in town. There’s no wait on travel time for a crew to get to you. All of our staff lives within a 10-mile radius of town.”
