Board of Directors seat information

A powerful aspect of being an electric cooperative member is that you have a voice in how PRECorp is run. Members play a crucial role in the process of who serves on the Board of Directors, from start to finish.
Members serve on nominating committees that put forth qualified candidates for the Board of Directors. Members like you, stand for election to the Board, whether nominated by a committee, or nominated by petition of 25 of the nominee’s fellow members. Members also count the ballots during Board elections at the Annual Meeting.
