Members who live in districts 2, 7, or 9 are eligible to run for the board in 2023 (not sure which district you’re in? see the district maps here, or you can call our office to verify). If you are a qualified member in one of those districts, you can obtain a petition form. After collecting the required signatures, return your petition form to the office by March 15 and your name will be placed on the election ballots sent to members in May. The results of our elections will be announced during our annual meeting. 

Any member can become a trustee on the board, and each district is designated by geographic area. In addition to completing the petition form, a member must: 

Have been a member for at least three (3) years. 

Have not been an employee for three (3) years prior. 

Not be closely related to an employee. 

Not be employed by a financially interested competing enterprise, or a business selling electric power or supplies to the cooperative. 

If you have any questions about the petition process or the election, please feel free to call our office at 800-445-4840 or email us at info@hwe.coop.
