As an electric cooperative, Bartholomew County REMC is guided by an elected board of directors who represent its members’ best interest when making important decisions.

Being a member of the co-op’s board is an incredibly important position in our community. A director’s decisions will impact issues, such as service rates, rights-of-way and work plans. This position holds great responsibility and requires men and women who understand their community’s needs and serve the cooperative members’ best interest.

It is important for us to elect strong directors to our board. We must have a pool of strong candidates, which is why we encourage new members to run in our board elections. Fresh ideas and new perspectives help us to enact policies that could potentially keep our community competitive.

Not only do we need to encourage our friends and family to run for positions on the board, we need to get out and vote for those individuals we think will act in the best interest of our co-op community. That is why you receive a ballot every year. Make sure you place your vote by April 15, or come to the annual meeting to vote on April 16.

Our board is a democratically elected body nominated by members of the cooperative’s service territory and voted into position by any member who chooses to participate in the cooperative’s open election. Any co-op member (in good standing) is welcome to run for an open position on the board. At BCREMC, we hold elections every April.
