How to Become a Candidate

Members may petition for candidacy in their district by gathering not less than 10 signatures of members from that district.

Members must be able to commit to attending the monthly board meeting, which is typically scheduled during the evening on the first Monday of the month. Additionally, interested members should expect three to five days annually to serve on committees and/or attend education and training.

The deadline for submitting required paperwork to appear on the 2025 ballot is Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025.

The primary duty of a director is to act on behalf of the entire membership in making business decisions to further the goals of the Cooperative. These decisions include establishing policies and directing the CEO in carrying out the day-to-day affairs of the Cooperative and service to members. Each member is entitled to receive equal treatment and is bound by the same service rules and requirements.

Your Cooperative is a self-supporting, sustainable business directed and controlled by its Board of Directors for the sole purpose of serving the members’ needs, not making a profit.

If you are interested, please contact the Cooperative by email at scec@scecnet.net or by phone at (715) 796-7000. Interested members will be required to visit our office to pick up a packet and attend a brief informational meeting.
