Members may now file as director candidates

Wright-Hennepin (WH) members can now submit nominations to vie for a seat on the cooperative’s board of directors in Districts 1, 3, 9 and 7. Members elected to these positions will begin their terms immediately following the 2012 Annual Meeting on March 29, 2012. 

If you are unsure which district you live in, look at your mailing label on this month’s newsletter. The district number is shown on the first line of the label, just above your name. The “BD” stands for board district.

Directors up for re-election (three-year terms) in 2012 are Timothy Young, District 1, Annandale, Minn.; Burton Horsch, District 3, Howard Lake, Minn.; and Erick Heinz, District 9, Corcoran, Minn. All three have indicated they will seek re-election.

There’s also a vacancy in District 7, as Sarah Evenson recently submitted her resignation. Pursuant to the bylaws, this position will also be up for election for the remaining two years of Evenson’s term.

To apply, fill out the director nominee application form and send it along with your resume to Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association, Attn: Dale Jans, Secretary/Treasurer, P.O. Box 330, Rockford, MN 55373. The application deadline is Feb. 8, 2012
