Danny Brisendine has stepped down after more than 13 years as general manager at Fort Payne, AL, IA.

A news release issued Nov. 17 states, in part, that Brisendine “has accepted another position with FPIA, thus delaying a much-deserved retirement.”

The statement credits Brisendine with having kept the utility “fiscally sound” and notes growth in the system’s “size and strength” on his watch. Brisendine will be working with FPIA’s Board of Directors “in a number of different areas,” the statement said, as the utility readies to move into a new building.
