As we prepare for our 2026 annual meeting, we would like to share board positions up for election within Slope Electric Cooperative’s board of directors.  

At the 2026 annual meeting the following positions will be elected:  

• District 1 currently held by Angela Carlson, Hettinger County 

• District 1 currently held by Charlotte Meier, Hettinger County 

• District 2 currently held by Steve Wegner, Adams County 

The bylaws of Slope Electric Cooperative state in Article IV, Section 4, directors can be nominated one of two ways:  

1. Through the Nominating Committee. The committee’s first meeting was held Jan. 20 to review procedures, responsibilities and qualifications for directorship. The second meeting will be held in Feb. 26 to nominate candidates and to approve resolutions.  

2. Members can also be nominated by filing a petition with 15 signatures. Filing must be done 90 days prior to the annual meeting on June 4 and posted at the office of Slope Electric. 

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity or know someone who might be a perfect fit, we invite you to attend our upcoming membership appreciation event on Feb. 26 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Reeder. These events will provide an excellent platform to meet with our current board of directors, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the responsibilities and expectations associated with serving on the board. 

Your engagement and participation are vital to the success and representation of all communities within Slope Electric. Join us in making an impactful difference for our cooperative and community. 

For more details or inquiries, please contact Brooke Waltner at 701-579-4191, the nominating committee or current board of directors.
