R. Grant Clawson, a trustee since 1989 with Continental Divide Electric Cooperative in Grants, New Mexico, died April 19. He was 72.

Clawson served on the CFC Board of Directors from 2011 to 2017, and as CFC board president from 2016 to 2017. He represented District 10 on the NRECA Resolutions Committee and served as a director and member of the contract committee of the Tri-State Generation and Transmission Cooperative.
