About the Board

Crawford Electric Cooperative is guided by a nine-member board of directors composed of co-op members. The board meets monthly to set policy and develop long-range goals, always safe-guarding the interests of co-op members. Board members are expected to become knowledgeable about the electric cooperative industry. Attendance at committee meetings or other events to benefit the cooperative may be required.

Three three-year terms on the board need to be filled at each year's annual meeting. This is typically held in September.

All candidates for the board must be nominated by petitions signed by at least 15 co-op members. The candidate petitions must be delivered to the co-op office during the petition period, as defined by the cooperative's bylaws and announced in the member newsletter in advance of each annual meeting.

A nine-member board of directors oversees Crawford Electric's operations. Members of the cooperative elect the directors to three-year terms. One director from each of the co-op's three geographical districts is elected each year at the annual meeting.

The current board of directors is as follows:
