Shaped by the
Communities We Serve
We have 6 directors. Every year, 4 directors are elected to 3-year terms. Members elect the men and women who serve on the Board of Directors.
The annual meeting ballot also includes proposed amendments to our bylaws. Bylaws govern the way an electric cooperative does business.
Directors Are Part of the Community
- The Board of Directors meets every month to oversee the operations of the cooperative
- Directors are members like you, and they come from all walks of life
- Directors attend training sessions provided by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA)
-
- The NRECA serves about 900 electric cooperatives nationwide
- Through NRECA, electric cooperatives across the country have built a strong network of like-minded organizations that put their members first
We Put Our Members First
As a cooperative, we will always put our members first—the power you can count on:
- Laurelhurst Electric Cooperative was incorporated in 1979 and is one of the 15 largest electric cooperatives in the United States with more than 19,000 member accounts
- At the end of each year, our margins (profits) are allocated to members’ capital credit accounts
- We use our profits to invest in:
- New construction
- System improvements
- Facility upgrades
- And more
- The Board of Directors regularly evaluates the financial condition of the cooperative and determines when members will receive a refund. Since 1979, we have refunded $85 million.
