Board and Bylaws

Member-consumers like you who understand and listen to the community lead Stearns Electric Association.

Stearns Electric is a democratically-controlled business, which means the Cooperative is governed by local people and elected by you. With members in charge, you can feel confident that Board decisions are made in the best interest of you and your community.

The Stearns Electric Board of Directors consists of nine member-consumers, one to represent each of the Cooperative’s nine districts. They are elected to serve for three-year terms. Nominations for director candidates open each December followed by elections each spring, concluding at the Annual Meeting.

Stearns Electric’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide the framework for governing and conducting business at the Cooperative. They provide information on membership, board of director elections, Capital Credits and more.
