governance

The governance structure of electric cooperatives typically involves a board of trustees elected by the cooperative’s members, adhering to the democratic principle of one member, one vote. LCEC Trustees are local residents and electric cooperative members themselves. They make key decisions on behalf of the cooperative and its members. The governance model emphasizes member participation, accountability, and responsiveness to community needs. This democratic approach ensures that the priorities and concerns of the community are considered in shaping policies and strategies, ultimately contributing to the reliable and affordable delivery of electricity to its members.
