Nomination Procedures and Board of Director Duties

A ten-member board of directors meets monthly to conduct the business affairs of the cooperative.  One director is elected from each of the ten geographic divisions that comprise the Vernon Electric Co-op service territory.  Directors are elected to serve for three-year terms.  The terms are staggered so that their terms do not expire all at once.  The initial process of selecting director candidates starts with the members in each director district.  The top three vote recipients from each of the ten districts become delegates to the District Committee Conference.

The district committee delegates at the Annual District Committee Conference select director candidates.  The bylaws require two candidates from each district for which there is an election.  A petition of fifteen (15) or more members can also select candidates.  An informal mail ballot elects directors.  The results of the informal mail ballots are presented at the Annual Meeting where the members approve them.
