Liz Werk, District #2
I am honored to be selected as the Triangle Communications District #2 Representative candidate. For the past six years, it has been fulfilling participating on a productive and progressive board. We continue to oversee the company’s affairs while meeting the members’ needs. While attending monthly meetings, reviewing hundreds of grant and scholarship applications, and continually learning new regulations, I appreciate the important role Triangle plays in sustaining our rural communities. I am grateful for our administration team and employees’ dedication to bring fiber to District 2. The future will bring changes and challenges. As a board trustee, I am prepared to keep our members’ and company’s best interest in mind for growth and prosperity.
Thank you,
Liz Werk
Dave Schwarzbach, District #6
Dear Fellow Cooperative Members,
It has been my honor and privilege to serve as a member of the Triangle Communications Board. I am humbled and grateful to the nominating committee for again selecting me to run for a board position.
I was born and raised in the Havre area. My entire adult life, I have been devoted to some aspect of our cooperative. I began working for Hill County Electric in August of 1970 and served until my retirement in November of 2014. I worked 7 years on the electric crew and over 37 years as the serviceman in the Big sandy area. I believe my former experience as an employee of the cooperative as well as a member gives me a unique perspective as a board member.
I am a strong believer in giving back to the community. I have retired from the Big Sandy Fire and Ambulance Department after 40 years of service. My last position as a fireman was president. I have also been a hunter safety instructor for 24 years and have been a member of the Big Sandy Booster Club for over 40 years. I’ve been a Bear Paw Sportsman for over 40 years and have helped the Big Sandy Rotary Club complete many projects over the last 35 years, including helping decorate the town for the Christmas season.
It has been a pleasure working with the present board and I look forward to the future of our cooperative as we take on the challenges of keeping up with changes in technology and communication.
Thank you,
Dave Schwazbach
Thaddeus “Thad” Moseman, District #6
Born to Dan and Delores Moseman on May 4th 1974 in Lewistown Montana, I was raised on the family
ranch at Christina. Graduated from Winifred Highschool in 1992, I then graduated from MSU Bozeman in
1997 with an Animal Science Degree. Out of college, I married my high school sweetheart Rebecca
Lowry from Flat Willow Montana in 1998. Our family soon increased with the births of our two sons
Ashton and Caleb Moseman. Currently Ashton is at MSU Bozeman studying Mechanical Engineering and
Caleb is in his first year in the Marine Corp, stationed in Okinawa Japan.
In 1999, we moved to the Billings area where I started a staking engineering position with Beartooth
Electric Cooperative based in Red Lodge Montana. I spent 12 years working for the cooperative in the
engineering field, member relations, and management. I ended my career there as Engineering Manager
in late 2011 to pursue a ranching life to raise our two boys.
Currently, my wife and I work at the family ranch with my youngest brother, mother and father. I have
been active in the community serving on the Fergus County Stockgrowers board, Fergus County Weed
District board, and still active on the Hilger Vol Fire Department Board, Hilger Community Board, and the
Fergus County Farm Bureau Board. I am proud to be part of the Central Montana Community and look
forward to helping its future anyway possible.
Thank you,
Thad Moseman
