​​​​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 the ten geographic divisions comprising the Vernon Electric Co-op service territory. Directors are elected to serve for three-year terms. The terms are staggered so their terms do not expire all at once. The initial process of selecting director candidates starts with the members in each director Division. The top four vote recipients from each of the Town Districts in each of the 10 Divisions become delegates to the District Committee Conference.

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