“Democratic member control is one of the seven cooperative principles,” said Midland Power CEO Bill McKim. “As a member-owned electric cooperative, our members play an important role in helping set the co-op’s direction. We rely on members to elect directors to represent them and establish the co-op’s policies and priorities. We thank the more than 1,200 member-owners who voted in this year’s board election for making their voices heard.”
Midland Power Cooperative’s board is composed of 12 directors, with three directors representing each of the co-op’s four districts. Directors serve three-year terms. More information about the Midland Power board and districts is available at MidlandPower.coop/Board.
