You Can Serve On Cherryland's Board
Any qualified Cherryland Electric member can be elected to serve on the co-op's board of directors.
To be nominated in 2008, candidates should file a petition with the secretary of the cooperative not earlier than the first day of March and not later than 4pm on the last business day of March.
Nomianting petitions shall be signed by not less than 25 active members of the cooperative, in good standing, and all signatures must be obtained within 60 days prior to the date the petition is filed. Nominating petitions shall be in the form prescribed by the board and are available at Cherryland's headquarters in Grawn.
Nominating petitions must specify the geographic service area for which the candidate is being nominated.
The term of office is three years, and two directors will be elected at this year's annual meeting. This year's directors will represent Leelanau County and an at-large position.
Nominees must meet qualifications for the office of director as set forth in the bylaws under Section 2 of Article III.
Any member interested in becoming a candidate is invited to visit the cooperative's office and learn about the duties performed by the directiors.
In the event no qualified candidate is nominated to fill the vacancy of a director whose term has expired, the newly elected board of directors will appoint sufficient directors to fill the vacancies. The election will be by majority vote of the board and must be done within 60 days of its first meeting. Directors elected in this manner will serve until the next annual meeting, when members will be given an opportunity to nominate and elect directors to fill the balance of the regular three-year term.
