As a cooperative, Polk-Burnett is owned by its members and governed by a board of directors elected from its membership.
"Each member has a vote in the election of board directors," said General Manager Steve Stroshane. "Electric cooperatives are unique because we are owned and governed by the members we serve. Co-op directors are local members who live and work here. They understand and listen to our local community. Local board governance is one of the greatest advantages of our co-op business model."
Watch for your ballot and voting instructions in your mail when it's time for your district election.
