PCEC Elections Begin May 1

Beginning May 1, Platte Clay Electric Cooperative consumer-members will have the opportunity to cast their votes to the board of directors. Candidates are elected to the board at the annual business meeting on May 30.

Three of the nine board seats are up for election each year — one from each of our three service districts. This year, incumbent board directors Theresa Wren, Dennis Fulk and Kendall Davis are up for re-election facing new candidates from across the service area.

The directors attend monthly board meetings to receive updates from co-op management and vote on matters such as expenditures, rates, capital credits, infrastructure needs, strategic direction and more.

Board members can also receive specialized training and development to become more knowledgeable about the electric energy industry. They also help advocate for rural co-ops on a local, state and national level.

Members will have the option again to vote securely online or by mail. All votes are received and counted by an independent third-party organization. Information about candidates and how to vote can be found HERE.

Platte Clay Electric Cooperative is once again offering the chance for members to win free energy bill credits. To be entered into the drawing, all you need to do is cast your ballot in May. There is one top prize of $1500 in bill credits, and two additional members will each receive $750 in bill credits.
