Interested in running for the board?

Serving on Slope Electric Cooperative's Board of Directors means you’re making a difference locally, using your individual talents and perspective to guide big decisions about the co-op that in turn benefit the larger community. While day-to-day decisions are made by co-op staff, decisions concerning policy and strategy are made by the board, whose mission is to look out for the vitality of the co-op and the community it serves.  

As a potential board member, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the direction and decisions of Slope Electric. 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.

We highly value the commitment of our board members, and to show our appreciation, we compensate them for their time and travel expenses. Your engagement and participation are vital to the success and representation within Slope Electric. Join us in making a difference in our cooperative and community.
