Schrader Elected to American Transmission Co. Board of Directors

PEWAUKEE, Wis.-(Business Wire)-September 26, 2008 - Ann M. Schrader, chief operating officer of HealthEast Care System, has been elected to the board of directors of American Transmission Co. HealthEast is one of the largest health care providers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area with four hospitals, 1,300 physicians and a network of neighborhood clinics. Schrader replaces former Wisconsin Governor Anthony Earl, who is retiring from the ATC board.

“Ann is a capable executive who facilitated the creation of HealthEast, transforming it from a hospital-driven company to a comprehensive care system,” explains ATC President and Chief Executive Officer José M. Delgado. “We welcome Ann’s strong leadership capabilities to our board.”

A native of Spirit Lake, Iowa, Schrader holds a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing from St. Olaf College and a master’s degree from the University of Iowa. She also received a Bush Fellowship to the Minnesota Executive Development Program through the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

Earl, a former Wisconsin governor, attorney and former partner in the Quarles & Brady law firm, has served on the ATC board of directors since its inception in 2001. “I thank Tony for his counsel and service to the board as we grew this company from concept to a high-performing transmission service provider,” Delgado said.

ATC owns, operates, builds and maintains the high-voltage electric transmission system serving portions of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois. Formed in 2001 as the nation’s first multi-state transmission-only utility, ATC has invested $1.7 billion to improve the adequacy and reliability of its infrastructure. ATC now is a $2.2 billion company with 9,350 miles of transmission lines and 500 substations. The company is a member of the Midwest ISO regional transmission organization, and provides nondiscriminatory service to all customers, supporting effective competition in energy markets without favoring any market participant.
