Board of Director Elections

As a member of Linn County REC, you can run for the board of directors, serve on the nominating committee, and vote for directors at the annual meeting. We encourage members to take an active role in these election opportunities. All members, including joint memberships, are eligible.

2024 Nominating Committee

The Linn County REC board of directors is looking for seven individuals, one from each voting district, to represent their district on the nominating committee. Districts 4 and 6 are up for election this year. Representatives from these two districts are responsible for finding members to run for election. However, the cooperative will also provide names it receives from members interested in running for the Board to committee members.

Nominating committee members meet once in June at our headquarters in Marion for a dinner meeting. During the meeting, district 4 and 6 members present candidates to be included on the election ballot. The meeting usually lasts about two hours. Members who have never served are preferred.

2024 Director Elections

Our Board is a democratically elected body nominated by its members and voted into position by members participating in the cooperative’s election in September. Their primary duties are establishing rules, regulations, and policies that guide the cooperative’s operations. In addition, they represent their members’ best interests when making important decisions.

All members are encouraged to run for the Board. Director qualifications, responsibilities, and time commitment are available here.

If you want to represent your district on the nominating committee or live in districts 4 or 6 and wish to run for director, please contact Robin at 319-377-1587.
