Members in districts two, three and four have the opportunity to serve on Central’s board of trustees. 

Members in those districts will receive a postcard and email with details on how to file as a candidate for the open trustee positions. 

The role of trustees on Central’s board is quite active with many responsibilities and commitments. The board and staff work together to achieve the cooperative’s goals and financial plans to ensure Central meets its mission of providing safe, reliable power at the lowest cost while being environmentally responsible.

What are the responsibilities of a trustee?

Central’s board creates short- and long-term financial and system plans, strategic plans and major projects, and long-term vision and commitment to our communities. Trustees are also required to receive the Credentialed Cooperative Director certification from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

How much time does a trustee spend on Central business?

Up to 16 hours of board and committee meetings and 10 hours on Central and electric industry issues may be spent each month. Service is more demanding for those who serve as officers of the board and other members of the board who represent Central on affiliated organization boards.

Interested in Filing?

Interested candidates must file a notice of candidacy in person during regular business hours at Central’s office during the filing period, June 3-7. Candidates must be in good standing with the cooperative.
