The 2025 Nominating Committee will meet in June to select candidates for Rural Electric Cooperative’s Board of Trustees. As defined in the Bylaws, the Nominating Committee will select at least three members: one from each district, as candidates for the Board of Trustees. These candidates names will appear on the official voting ballot for REC's members to vote on during Annual Meeting.

The Nominating Committee is made up of three members from each of REC’s three board districts. A minimum of one representative from each district must be in attendance at the meeting to constitute a quorum and conduct business.
Guidelines for nominations and election of trustees are contained in Article Three (3), Section Seven (7) of REC’s Bylaws. Copies of Bylaws are available upon request at REC’s headquarters.

Candidates for the Board of Trustees are voted on at REC’s 86th Annual Meeting Saturday, October 4, 2025. The meeting will be held in REC’s Multi Purpose Center located north of Lindsay on State Highway 76.

Additional nominations may be submitted by petition with any 50 or more members of the Cooperative, acting together, in writing over their signatures. Any such nomination shall list the candidate’s name with necessary signatures and be filed with the Cooperative at least 120 days prior to the Annual Meeting of the Membership.
