Directors - Members Serving Members

As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, Canadian Valley Electric belongs to the people who use it and operates it for the benefit of the membership. The member-owners share equally in the control of the cooperative.

Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative has eight board members who act as trustees for the cooperative corporation. Trustees are required to be CVEC members receiving electric utility service from the cooperative within the district they are elected to represent. Trustees are elected for three-year terms by and from the members in the respective district. District boundaries are reviewed consistently, per the CVEC bylaws, to ensure equal representation. Each member has one vote in the election of trustees and all other matters brought before the membership. The trustees meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month to oversee the operations of the cooperative utility and set goals, policies, and procedures to ensure that the cooperative is operated using sound business practices for the benefit of its consumers/owners. The operating and capital budgets of the cooperative are approved annually by the board of trustees. The CEO is responsible for operating the cooperative within the guidelines and budget authorizations set by the board of trustees.
