GCCEA董事会
Board Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month (11月 and 12月 can vary by a week due to the holidays). Members are welcome to attend or present concerns at board meetings; we do ask that you call at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting to be put on the agenda as a guest or as a presenter. Meetings begin at 9:00am and are held at our office located at 1410 Northstar Drive in Zumbrota.
Board members are elected at our annual meeting by a vote of the membership. Members are mailed a ballot and secure envelope. Ballots may be returned with monthly payments or dropped off in person. The secure envelope requires an account number so the cooperative can ensure one vote per member. Ballots remain unopened and are delivered to our attorney for tabulation. Results are reported at the annual meeting of the membership.
Each director is elected for a three year term. The rules and further detail governing director elections and eligibility may be found in our 规章制度 (link in the 新葡京博彩官网 tab).
What is the role of a GCCEA董事会 Member?
-
The strength of electric cooperatives is rooted in the fact that they are led by consumers and belong to the communities they serve. Democratic member control is a core cooperative principle.
-
Serving our members is a primary ingredient of the electric co-op mission. Electric cooperatives leverage a variety of resources to increase member engagement and ensure timely and ongoing communications.
-
电动合作社板, and the communities that they represent, play a leadership role and guide the direction of the co-op.
-
Electric cooperatives benefit from open and transparent governance and the positive involvement of the communities they serve.
-
Co-op board members play a pivotal role in determining the strategic direction and priorities of the co-op. This board input is key as electric cooperatives keep the lights on today and plan to meet the energy needs of tomorrow.

董事会成员有报酬吗?? Board members spend significant time and energy serving as a board member in a highly complex and rapidly changing industry. They have a fiduciary duty to the electric coop, and face potential personal liability for breaching that duty. 电动合作社板 may be compensated for their leadership role in guiding the direction of the co-op. Several variables affect co-op directors’ compensation, including the number of meetings and other director events each year, travel for board meetings and other co-op functions, 行业性质, and size and structure of the business. GCCEA board members receive a per diem each month for their service, as well as mileage and travel expense reimbursement of approved expenses. The current rate is $200 for a full day and $100 for a half day meeting as well as a $100 retainer for time spent on cooperative business outside of meetings. Mileage is at the current IRS rate. 表格990数据已准备 在这里.

董事会成员需要出差吗? GCCEA directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, MREA年会, 地区会议, and are encouraged to become MREA/NRECA credentialed. GCCEA directors are allowed to attend one national meeting every three years in a rotating schedule. Attendance is based on the content of the meeting and is subject to a board approval. Spousal costs are not covered by the cooperative if they choose to attend. It is important for directors to stay informed and educated on current energy topics and the industry. Officers may have additional responsibilities and expectations.
-
Do directors receive any other benefits such as insurance or reduced rates? No. GCCEA does not provide additional benefits to directors.
*** Interested in becoming a board member? Contact the cooperative and we will put you in touch with the nominating committee member from your district. Members can also petition to be added to the ballot according to the bylaws (must secure 50 petitioners and be delivered to the cooperative at least 60 days prior to the scheduled annual membership meeting) ***
One board member is elected from each of our 9 districts to ensure equality across our entire territory. 导演s are not elected by district and they represent the cooperative as a whole and not just their own district. You may choose to contact the director that is from your own district, but you do not have to. In fact, you may contact any board member with comments or concerns since they represent all members.
