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: Angela Carlson – Hettinger County
• District 1: Charlotte Meier – Hettinger County
• District 2: Steve Wegner – Adams County

As a potential board member, you will have the chance to contribute to Slope Electric's direction and decisions. Some of the responsibilities include:

• Monthly board meetings: The board convenes once a month to discuss and decide on matters crucial to our cooperative's operations, development, and growth.
• Ongoing training opportunities: Continuous learning is crucial. Board members have access to additional training sessions to enhance their knowledge and skills in governance and utility management.

Board directors' commitment to the cooperative is highly valued, in turn, Slope Electric compensate directors for their time and travel expenses.

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 events Jan. 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Mott and 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.
