Want to make a difference in your community? Consider running for a seat on the board of directors of Dubois REC.

At the the 2024 annual meeting on April 9, members will be electing directors to represent Districts 1 and 5. The incumbent directors running for election are Andy Schwenk (District 1) and Brad Knies (District 5). Incumbent board members must file a written notice of their intent to seek re-election at least 60 days before the annual meeting.

Any Dubois REC member who lives in District 1 or 5 and meets the qualifications outlined in the Dubois REC bylaws can also run in the election by completing a petition signed by 20 other members at least 60 days before the annual meeting. If you feel you are qualified and interested in serving your cooperative, pick up a petition from the Dubois REC office and begin collecting signatures. The completed petition must be submitted to Dubois REC before 4 p.m. on Feb. 9.

More details about the election process can be found in the Dubois REC bylaws, which we encourage our members to review. A complete publication of the Dubois REC bylaws is posted on the co-op’s website, duboisrec.com.
