How to Run for the Board of Directors

The Access Energy Cooperative committee for nominations begins meeting after the first of the year. Once the committee has been appointed, the members are published on the website, in the member monthly magazine, social media, and in the lobby of the office. Anyone interested in running for a seat on the board may contact a member on the nominating committee to make their request known.

Election and Tenure

The members of the Board of Directors shall be elected from three Districts, numbered One (1), Two (2) and Three (3).  The geographic areas of the three Districts shall be established by the Board of Directors and described in the By-Laws. The Districts shall be apportioned, and reapportioned as necessary, by the Board of Directors, so that the Districts contain as nearly as possible an equal number of members.

At each Annual Meeting of Members, one, and only one, Director from each of Districts One (1), Two (2) and Three (3), shall be elected for the term of three years, and until their respective successors shall have been elected and qualified.
