The Clarke Electric Cooperative Annual Meeting of the Membership is right around the corner. In preparation, the cooperative enlists the help of a nominating committee to select candidates to run as opponents against incumbent directors.
Directors in District 6 and the two at-large districts will be on the ballot this year. The 2024 Nominating Committee members are:
- District 6: Kyle Kelso and Jason Boyer
- At-Large Districts: Gary Alley, Larry Jackson, Frank Riley and Steve Reynolds.
The Nominating Committee is tasked with seeking candidates in each district in the election who are willing to serve on the board. The committee follows the guidelines set forth in the by-laws to select at least one candidate to run against the incumbent when possible. If the district is open, they will select two candidates when possible. District 6 director Marni Kelso has announced she will not seek another term.
The election will be held in conjunction with the Clarke Electric Annual Meeting of the Membership Tuesday, Sept. 10. If you are interested in serving as a director candidate, please call the cooperative before July 21: (800) 362-2154.
