Board members must receive their electricity from the Co-op and must be in good standing. Board members must not be related to anyone currently working at the Co-op or anyone currently serving on the Board of Directors. Cooperative bylaws also state that anyone who is in any way employed by or financially interested in a competing enterprise or a business selling electric energy or supplies to the Cooperative or a business primarily engaged in selling electrical and plumbing appliances, fixtures or supplies to the members of the Cooperative also may not run for a seat on the board. 

Each spring, the board of directors selects members to serve on the nominating committee. The nominating committee meets to select members to serve as nominees. The co-op reaches out to the nominees to ask if they'd like to run for the Board of Directors.

If you are interested in running for a spot on the Board of Directors, call the Co-op at 563-864-7611.

The election is held at the Cooperative's annual meeting, held each September. Ballots are mailed to members in the Annual Report, which is printed in August. Members can mail their ballot back to the Co-op, bring it to the office, or drop it off during the Annual Meeting. If you did not receive a ballot, call the Co-op at 563-864-7611 and we'll send you a copy. 

All members can vote for the three director positions up for election on the ballot. You do not need to vote only for the candidates in your district. 

Bios of each candidate can be found in the Annual Report. 

Effective October 2019, board meeting summaries are published in the ACEC NEWS monthly publication. You can access the ACEC NEWS publication at https://www.acrec.com/acec-newsletters
