Appointment of Director
On November 20, 2024, the Board of Directors of NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. d/b/a NorthWestern Energy (Nasdaq: NWE) (NorthWestern), elected David L. Goodin to the Board, with a term commencing December 1, 2024, and expiring at the Company's next Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for April 30, 2024, at which time Mr. Goodin is expected to be nominated for approval by the Company's stockholders.
Mr. Goodin has over 40 years of experience in the utility industry with MDU Resources Group, Inc. (NYSE: MDU). On Jan. 5, 2024, he retired as MDU's president and chief executive officer, and on May 14, 2024, he retired from MDU's board of directors. Before becoming CEO in 2013 and over the course of his career with MDU, he served in various leadership roles in the organization, including president and chief executive officer of the Utility Group, president of Cascade Natural Gas, and executive vice president of operations and acquisitions at MDU.
Mr. Goodin has been appointed to a number of boards during his career. In addition to MDU’s board, he has shared his leadership experience as a member of the U.S. Bank Western North Dakota Advisory Board, the Sanford West Medical Board, and the Boards of the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association and the Bismarck State College Foundation. His utility expertise has allowed him to serve on the Boards of the Edison Electric Institute, American Gas Association, North Central Electric Association, and Midwest Energy Association.
NorthWestern anticipates Mr. Goodin will serve on two of the Board's committees yet to be determined.
