Co-op announces 2010 board candidates
Elected to serve three-year terms, the nine co-op members who make up the Capital Electric board of directors set policies and make decisions which provide the membership with affordable and reliable electric service.
At the 2010 annual meeting on June 3, members will elect three people to serve and carry on the traditions of Capital Electric Cooperative while planning for the future. The open board seats include one currently held by Jim Hawkins in District 1, and two presently held by David Liuska and Arlene Olson in District 2. Hawkins recently announced he will not seek re-election, so there will be no incumbent in District 1.
The Nominating Committee recruited candidates and met on April 13 to review the list of potential candidates. Since only one candidate was nominated from District 1, the committee decided to keep nominations open for that district until April 27. In addition, interested candidates can have their names added to the ballot by petition at least 30 days prior to the annual meeting or from the floor at the meeting.
Capital Electric is pleased to announce that the following candidates have met eligibility requirements and will have their names placed on the ballot at the annual meeting:
DISTRICT 1:
Shari Haugen-Hoffart
Myron Rogstad
DISTRICT 2:
LeAna Hug
Vernon Laning
David Liuska
Theresa Marquart
Arlene Olson
Doug Prchal
Brett Schafer
Candidates will be given a brief time allotment at the annual meeting to introduce themselves and explain their qualifications. Members will then vote for one candidate from District 1 and two candidates from District 2.
Official notice of Capital Electric’s 64th annual meeting will be mailed to members later in May.
