Director Nominations Open in Districts 2, 3, 5 and 6

November 29, 2021

Stearns Electric Association’s Board of Directors are member-consumers just like you who understand and listen to the community. They represent you on the Co-op’s Board, which is responsible for overseeing the business of the Cooperative and determining its strategic direction.

The cooperative business model depends on its members to provide leadership and guidance for Stearns Electric. Each year, an election takes place in three of our nine districts to elect a director o represent that district on our board. The election process ensures that every member has a voice in the operation of this organization and that any member in good standing may seek election for the Board of Directors.

 

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS:

Nominations are now open for the board in districts 2, 3 and 6. Elected representatives will each serve a three-year term on the board.

This year, Stearns Electric is hosting a special election in District 5 to fill a vacant seat due to a director resignation. The elected representative will fill the remaining two-year term on the board.

If you live in these districts and are interested in becoming a nominee, please visit our Director Election webpage to view the nominations packet and download the Application for Director.
