Jim Bourazak

Jim has been the CEO of ELM Utility Services since July of 2003 when ELM acquired One Call Locators, Ltd. from Northwestern Energy. Jim has extensive management experience with over 15 years in executive level management ranging from a 900 person environmental consulting firm to a deregulated retail and wholesale energy company that was a subsidiary of CILCORP. Jim has held previous positions through his career as Director of Human Resources, Vice President of Human Resources, and President Environmental Staffing Solutions, Inc. Jim holds an AA in Business Administration and a BA in Business Management from the University of Illinois. Jim is a strong supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Having served on the St. Jude Board, Jim and the ELM companies have contributed to and supported St. Jude for several years. Jim participates in the St. Jude Motorcycle Ride from Peoria to Memphis every fall to raise money for St. Jude. The Bourazak family support goes back to Jim's Grandfather who gave Danny Thomas $5,000 in 1951 when the hospital was only an idea Danny Thomas had. The original donor plaque from Jim's Grandfathers contribution is still displayed in the hospital in Memphis on the wall of original donors.
