The Chief Executive Officer of DTC Communications has stepped down
Craig Gates has announced that he is taking a new opportunity in Montana. Steve Johnson has been named interim CEO until the DTC Board names a successor to Gates.
In the latest publication of “The DTC Connection”, Gates thanked the DTC membership. “I arrived in 2011 and have spent four great years here at DTC. We made many changes to the organization during my leadership here at DTC. The most important change has been developing and living up to our mission statement to be the best service provider that adds value to all of our customers’ needs by exceeding their expectations.”
Gates also wrote “I will miss many of the people that I have come to know while here in Tennessee. Thank you members. You are what DTC is all about”.
Gates came to DTC in September, 2011 as a 27-year veteran of the telecommunications industry.
He started his career in 1984. Prior to coming here he served as Chief Operating Officer and Vice President for Project Mutual, a cooperative located in Rupert, Idaho.
