Cooperative Members

Electric cooperatives are service-oriented, locally owned and governed by member-elected directors, providing service at the lowest possible costs.

Anyone who buys electricity from an electric cooperative is a member; all members share ownership of the utility and have a voice in its operation.

Each member has one vote in the election of the cooperative's board of directors and in any other decision brought up at the cooperative's annual meeting.

Directors of the cooperative are members of the utility who serve without salary, except for a per diem and expenses to cover their out-of-pocket costs in serving the cooperative. The Board of Directors hire a manger to take charge of operating the cooperative for the benefit of its members.
