CVEC is governed by representatives elected by and from the general membership. Each year at CVEC’s Annual Meeting, members elect 3 fellow members to represent them as Directors of the Board, one Director from each of the 3 Districts (West, South & East). Members may vote at the meeting or by mail-in proxy ballot. The Board holds monthly meetings, sets Co-op policy, and hires a President/CEO who is responsible for operations. Meet the 9 CVEC directors.
Members interested in running for a Director position can make a “Member Petition Nomination”, which must:
- List the name of the nominee.
- Indicate the Director position for which the Member Petition Nominee will run.
- Contain the printed names, addresses, and original signatures of at least 100 CVEC Members.
- Use the Member Petition Nomination Form contained in the Director Candidate Packet. Director Candidate Packets are available from the cooperative. Email CVEC or call (800) 367-2832 to request a packet.
- Member Petition Nominations must be delivered to the Cooperative in writing, at least 75 days prior to the Annual Meeting. View information on CVEC’s Annual Meeting.
- For more information, please view Section 4.4 of the Bylaws (PDF).
