Board of directors

Following the merger of Tri-County Electric Cooperative and Hawkeye REC on January 1, 2017, MiEnergy Cooperative was managed by a board of 14 directors that represented the two cooperatives. Each director represents a geographical area of the cooperative’s service territory called a district. MiEnergy has five districts. Approximately one-third of the directors are elected at each annual meeting.

In 2016, members approved the plan of merger, which created a cooperative transition period with no elections in 2017, 2018 or 2019 and that allows the board to reduce the number of directors through resignations, retirements and other means deemed appropriate. However, the board shall consist of at least nine directors and no more than 14. The next director elections will be held in 2025 (districts 4 & 5), 2026 (district 1) and 2027 (districts 2 & 3).

During the fall of 2019 when one director retired and another resigned, the board chose not to fill their seats. Directors retired in 2022 and 2024, reducing the board to its current 10 directors.

Being elected to the board is a paid position that comes with responsibilities. Contact Heather Larson (800-432-2285 or hlarson@MiEnergy.coop) for board policies.
