As a member-owned electric cooperative, Guthrie County REC is governed by a board of directors made up of local people from your community and elected by you.

Democratic member control is one of the seven cooperative principles that guide Guthrie County REC. It means every cooperative member has one vote, and every member
is eligible to serve as a cooperative director representing their district.

On Jan. 8, 2022, your cooperative will hold its annual meeting and board election. Members in Districts 1, 2 and 3 are eligible to run for a position on the board of directors and get involved in cooperative decision-making. Directors serve three-year terms and represent all cooperative members at monthly meetings.

The nominating committee begins the process of electing directors each year. If you reside in District 1, 2 or 3 and would like to recommend a candidate for your district, please
contact one of the members of the nominating committee.
