Yellowstone Valley Electric Cooperative (YVEC), as a not-for-profit electric co-op, is guided by an elected board of directors. The board consists of seven (7) members, and they conduct business affairs and exercise the powers granted to them in the by-laws of YVEC. Our directors represent the members’ best interests when making decisions. Granted, some issues are larger than others regarding the effect they have on the members of the co-op, but YVEC trustees truly keep the members in mind when conducting business on behalf of YVEC. A director’s decisions will impact items such as service rates, special projects, work plans, policies, and other rules and regulations. The director position holds great responsibility and requires men and women who understand their community’s needs while also serving all members. (28454000)
It is important to have strong directors on the board. We are quite fortunate at YVEC to have an excellent group of individuals who are very engaged in the business of this co-op. Sound ideas, distinct perspectives, and a willingness to work together for the greater good are just a few of the qualities the trustees of your co-op all possess. They are all exceptional representatives of the membership of our co-op and give great consideration when making decisions both large and small. Directors matter and ours are exemplary people.
It is truly a blessing to be able to work hand-in-hand with your board of directors. As members themselves, they too must adhere to all policies, rules, and regulations they approve of, on behalf of the coop. Through excellent foresight and with high regard for their fiduciary responsibility, they will certainly continue to guide YVEC with a steady hand.
