A vacancy on the Powder River Energy Board of Directors has occurred with the resignation of Campbell County Director Dustin Martinson. 
Martinson was elected director in August 2023. The term expires on September 1, 2026, and the PRECorp Board of Directors is seeking letters of interest from Campbell County members who would be willing to fill out that term from 2024 to 2026.
Interview dates will be determined based on the number of members showing interest. The PRECorp Board of Directors may make a appointment as soon as its regular meeting in Gillette, Tuesday, August 20. The new director may be officially seated at the September 17 meeting.
