ALL MEMBERS
Butler Rural Electric Cooperative is governed by an elected board of trustees. Board members are members of the cooperative just like you — they pay the same electric rates as you and live in your community. Board members represent all members as they set policies, monitor the cooperative’s performance, and approve the annual budget. Board members work to ensure rates are fair and listen to concerns from members.
Board seats up for election in 2023
Butler Rural Electric Cooperative’s members vote for trustees each year. Three board seats are up for election this year — District 6, which includes Reily Township, District 7, which includes Hanover and St. Clair townships, and District 8, which includes Harrison and Morgan townships. Members living in these districts received a notice in the mail in August 2022 to let them know they could run for the board.
Candidate interviews
Butler Rural Electric Cooperative’s nominating committee met in November to interview members running for the board of trustees. The committee interviewed four candidates from District 6, three from District 7, and five candidates from District 8. Committee members asked board candidates questions about their background
