Board trustees meet once a month with the co-op’s attorney, general manager, and management staff to discuss important decisions that impact day-to-day operations.
Along with the monthly board meetings, trustees may attend conferences in Columbus and national meetings in various locations.
Training courses covering the roles, responsibilities, knowledge, and skills that trustees need to govern the co-op are also encouraged.
These often address governance, financial decision-making, strategic planning, and current and emerging issues in the industry.
Nominating petitions for districts 3, 6, and 9 will be available Tuesday, Feb. 14, at the cooperative’s office in Wellington.
Any member who wishes to run for a board position must submit 25 signatures from within his or her district and an election application by 4:30 p.m., Monday, March 14.
The candidate must be a member in good standing with the electric cooperative, be at least 18 years old, and have received electric service from LMRE for at least one year before being elected to the board.
Elected board members will be announced at the cooperative’s annual meeting in July. For more information on how to run for the board and the election process, contact the LMRE office at (800) 222-5673 or visit www.lmre.org.
