Who We Are Board of Trustees

Cooperatives are Member-Owned and Member-Governed

The Board of Trustees, elected by the membership, oversees the President/CEO, sets company policy and monitors finances of the cooperative. They represent fellow members and participate in electric cooperative training and conference opportunities.

Each year, three trustees, one from each district is elected to a three-year term and can serve up to seven-consecutive terms.
