How to become a Lake Country Power Board Director

As a member-owned electric cooperative, Lake Country Power is governed by a policy-making board of nine directors. Each director represents a district and serves a term of three years.

Directors are elected by members in their respective district through an election process where members vote via ballot. Results of the elections are always announced at the annual membership meeting.
