Tommy Paulk holds the E.P. Garrett Award naming Keith Griffin Manager of the Year to the delight of Griffin’s wife, Meg.� |
Keith Griffin became the manager of Madison County [Alabama] Farmers Co-op in the fall of 1997. At the end of the first fiscal year under his management, the Co-op was in the black. It has registered positive net margins in every year since then, which is one of the primary requirements to be eligible to even be considered for the
E.P. Garrett Award.�
During his tenure, sales have gone up every year; and he has streamlined the operations for more efficient distribution of products and services to the patrons while, at the same time, cutting operational costs.� |
