Your Board of Trustees
Cooperatives belong to and are led by the the communities they serve. Prairie Land Electric is a locally owned and operated business, and the members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the membership. Like you, they are cooperative members but with a special perspective.
Your board is comprised of members living throughout the Prairie Land Electric service area, and they are local citizens with the best interests of members, the community and the cooperative always in mind. The business and affairs of the cooperative are directed by the board of trustees, whose primary function is planning and policy oversight, establishing the long-term objectives of the cooperative, and providing resources to meet those objectives. Board members work closely with the CEO and senior staff to review progress, ensure accountability, make strategic decisions, and stay current on an increasingly complex business.
The cooperative territory is divided into districts, and each district is represented by 2-3 trustees. Trustees are elected for three-year terms.
