Congratulations to Jamie Alday, a line crew leader in our Sneads district, for earning his Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration from Keiser University. He is currently continuing his education and working toward a bachelor’s degree in business administration, which he expects to complete in July 2027. He was hired at West Florida Electric (WFEC) in 2003, earned his journeyman linemen status in 2007, and was promoted to line crew leader
in 2019.

While working full time at the cooperative, Alday balanced work, his studies, and earned a place on the Dean’s list at Keiser. He said that while balancing everything was challenging at times, it has also been very rewarding, helping him build stronger time management skills, stay organized, and remain focused on his professional growth and long-term goals. 53207001

Alday believes this degree strengthens his understanding of business operations, communications, and decision-making, allowing him to contribute more effectively and prepare for future leadership opportunities. He also noted that learning how areas like management, finance, and operations are interconnected has provided him with a broader perspective about how organizational decisions are made. He plans to use his degree to continue growing professionally, pursue leadership roles, and support his personal business building spec homes.

“Earning my associate degree was a meaningful milestone. It represents dedication, growth, and my commitment to building a better future for myself personally and professionally. I’m excited about what’s ahead and grateful for the opportunity to keep learning and growing. I’m especially motivated to apply what I learn to my career and my personal business goals. If you’re considering going back to school, I encourage you to go for it,” said Alday. “It can feel like a big commitment, but taking it one step at a time makes it manageable. Investing in yourself is always worth it in the long run.”
