The Southwestern Electric Cooperative Board is currently accepting applications for a District III board seat. The seat was left vacant by the death of longtime board member Randy Wolf of St. Elmo. And, in accordance with the organization’s bylaws, the cooperative’s board is responsible for appointing a member to fill vacancies on the board of directors.
The Directors are responsible for ensuring members’ needs and concerns are given fair and timely treatment, determining objectives and setting policies, adopting long-range plans and guiding the overall direction and financial stability of the cooperative. Candidates must be in good standing and be residents in District III, which includes the cooperative’s service areas in Fayette, Clay, Effingham, Marion and Shelby counties.
Anyone interested should email a cover letter, resume and completed board candidate questionnaire to Southwestern Electric CEO Bobby Williams by Monday, November 5th. The questionnaire is available at Southwestern’s website at www.sweci.com. For more information, you can contact Bobby Williams at 800-627-8667 or email at bobby.williams@sweci.com
