Full-Time/Regular 

TRUSTEE ELECTION Qualified LCEC members are elected by members by ballot to serve on the Board of Trustees. Ballots are mailed in March and votes are tabulated prior to the Annual Meeting, typically held in April. Members are elected by the entire membership to represent the geographical area in which they reside. Three year terms are staggered in order to provide continuity on the board.

A nominating committee consisting of members selected from different LCEC geographical areas evaluates all applicants and makes a recommendation for inclusion on the election ballot. No Board member serves on the Committee. The Committee considers business experience; ability to interpret operating and financial reports; community leadership and sensitivity to LCEC member concerns and attitudes; integrity and lack of potential conflict of interest; ability to significantly contribute to Board discussions and decisions; ability to work well with other Trustees and staff; and special talents and skills useful in overseeing a multi-million dollar electric company.

Characteristics of a qualified Board of Trustee candidate include but are not limited to:

• Ability to represent the total membership on an impartial and equitable basis
• Capability of overseeing policies governing investment of LCEC funds
• Desire to keep LCEC rates competitive, service reliable and budgets reasonable
• Knowledge to help protect LCEC assets and ensure compliance with lending institutions and governmental requirements
