Georgia Power announced on May 29 that Beth Lowry has been elected to the company’s board of directors. Lowry is currently president and CEO of Holder Construction Company, a $10 billion construction services firm based in Atlanta with offices nationwide.
Lowry began her career at Holder in 1994 as an intern and has held various leadership positions over more than three decades with the company.

“As the number one state for business, Georgia’s economy continues to grow with businesses of all sizes continuing to choose our state, bringing new jobs and revenue when they open or expand,” said Kim Greene, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. “As we work to serve this growth in the coming years, including building new power plants and transmission and distribution infrastructure, we know that Beth’s deep experience in construction and development will provide great value for our customers and company. In addition, her strong commitment to the community aligns well with Georgia Power’s core values and our mission to be a citizen wherever we serve.”
