TCEC celebrates 70 years since its founding as a cooperative this year. Being a cooperative means we follow seven universal principles, the second of which is Democratic Member Control or “one member, one vote.”


As a member of TCEC, you have the opportunity to elect a representative accountable to you who will serve on the board of trustees.


The TCEC board of trustees is the representative body of the members of our cooperative. Trustees represent cooperative members and act on their behalf.


Before being eligible to join the board, trustees must meet certain qualifi cations as outlined in our bylaws. For example, they must live in the district they represent. Continued on page three.


grouped so that three of the nine districts hold elections every year. For 2015, districts 3, 4 and 9 will host meetings to elect trustees in July. Meeting notices will mail the last week of June to members in these districts. District meetings allow members to voice their choice for their member representative.


Chris Purdy, vice president of Member Solutions, said, “District meetings are a great example of the local control that sets us apart from investor-owned utilities. Every member should attend their district meeting.”


Any member who meets the trustee qualifi cations can fi le for candidacy in their district during its fi ling period.


T e cooperative’s bylaws govern the qualifi cations and election of trustees. Visit www.tcec.coop to view them.
