The CEC membership is represented by a board of trustees elected for three year terms at the Annual Membership Meeting held each year.  

Being a Director of an electric cooperative requires an extraordinary commitment of time and energy. Board meetings can last up to several hours and sometimes several days a month.

Cooperative consumer-members are best served by directors who are well-versed in democratic principles and who understand the industry and how this industry can move forward to meet changing demands. Their education is the cornerstone of effective self-governance. Our bylaws, Section 4.02, require they be certified within their first term of office.
