DURANGO, Colo. – Election packets for those interested in running for a seat on the LPEA Board of Directors will be available June 18 at LPEA offices in Durango and Pagosa Springs. To be placed on the ballot, completed petitions must be returned to the Durango office by 10 a.m. on July 23.
Pursuant to LPEA bylaws, one-third of the director’s seats are up for election annually, one in each of LPEA’s four districts. Incumbent directors seeking re-election for the three-year terms are Harry Cole (District 1 – Archuleta County), Davin Montoya (District 2 – south and west La Plata County), Jeff Berman (District 3 – Durango proper) and Ed Zink (District 4 – north and east La Plata County).
“LPEA is a cooperative, owned by and operated for the benefit of those who use its services,” said Greg Munro, LPEA CEO. “So, as you purchase your electricity from La Plata Electric, you are also a member/owner entitled to elect directors who determine company policy.”
Director candidates must be cooperative member/owners and be permanent residents of the district for which they are seeking office. Completed election petitions must contain 15 or more signatures from co-op members in a candidate’s district.
Ballots will be mailed to LPEA’s full membership on Aug. 22, and the results tallied during the LPEA Annual Meeting, set for Saturday, Sept. 13 at Bayfield High School.
Candidate packets contain additional election information and instructions, including copies of LPEA’s bylaws and board policies. Further information is available from Jeannie Bennett, 970.382.3505, or on the web, www.lpea.coop.
“We do urge everyone to be involved in the cooperative, by serving as a director, or most certainly casting a vote,” said Munro. “The company exists to serve its members. Everyone has an economic interest and voice in LPEA’s future.”
LPEA, a Touchstone Energy Cooperative established in 1939, provides to its nearly 30,000 members with more than 40,000 meters, safe, reliable electricity at the lowest reasonable cost, while being environmentally responsible. For additional information, contact LPEA at 970.247.5786 or visit www.lpea.coop.
