Eight local district meetings are planned throughout June. The meetings provide members with a chance to learn about cooperative happenings and have discussions with management and board members. Each member in attendance will receive one $10 electric bill credit.
Members residing in Aurora, Brule and Buffalo County with an interest in serving on the Board of Directors may take out a nominating petition at Central Electric Cooperative's Betts Road office west of Mitchell. See the petition filing dates provided below.

When filed, director petitions must have the signatures of at least ten Central Electric Cooperative, Inc. members from the director district in which the candidate is seeking election. Completed petitions must be filed at least 25 days prior to the District Meeting.
