Board of Trustees - Nomination Petitions Available Now
Petition Deadline: December 27, 2023, 12:00 pm
Lincoln Electric Cooperative's (LEC) nine-person Board of Trustees is elected by the members from the general membership of LEC. Each one brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the Board. Collectively, they are responsible for establishing, reviewing, and revising corporate policies to ensure that LEC continues to keep service to the membership foremost in mind, while maintaining a stable, yet competitive, position in the industry.
Your LEC trustees know about the need to stay involved with our communities. They know the necessity of running LEC in a responsible fashion. They know that the members come first. How do they know? Because they are LEC members who live and work right here in LEC's service territory and they are dedicated to making life a little better for us all.
LEC's service area is divided into two districts, both of which have at least two representatives on the board. Board members serve three-year terms with three trustees elected each spring and announced at the Annual Meeting.
There are three total trustee seats with term expiration in 2024 that require an election by the membership. All three of those expiring seats are in District 6 - Upper.
To run for an expiring trustee seat, interested members must be nominated by a petition of at least five current Lincoln Electric members in their district. You can download a nomination petition below, which contains more details. Completed petitions are due to Lincoln Electric by 12:00 pm on Wednesday, December 27, 2023.
