According to the Cooperative’s Code of Regulations, any member residing in the district may seek election to the Board of Directors. The district director candidates seeking election to the Board of Directors will be chosen by the entire membership through an election conducted by mail and/or electronic ballot. If all three district director elections have unopposed candidates, the code of regulations states the cooperative does not have to go to the expense of conducting an election, and the candidates would be considered elected without a formal election. The winners will be announced at the annual meeting held in July.
Petitions can be obtained at the co-op office, located in Spencer, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or by calling the cooperative.
