Board of Director Election

On May 1, you will officially be a member of the cooperative. As a co-op, our governance structure is different than that of the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB). Lane Electric is governed by seven board members, elected by the members. In welcoming you, our new members from the McKenzie Valley, the cooperative restructured our board districts.

In addition to an elected director from the McKenzie District, which runs from Ross Lane to Belknap Springs, lower valley residents will also have representation in our Central District.

This year, board members representing McKenzie, Central, and Oakridge Districts are up for reelection. While you are not yet members, the Board of Directors voted to allow new members from the lower McKenzie to run for the board in this year’s election. Those interested in running can apply during the petition window, March 13-23.

You'll find information on how to apply here.
