Inside Pioneer Electric
Democratic Member Control
As elected representatives of our communities, our cooperative’s board is actively invested in providing its members with the best electric energy services and resources. Elected by the membership, the cooperative Board of Trustees are also members, but with a unique perspective.
Their responsibilities include planning and policy oversight, setting the cooperative’s long-term objectives and providing the resources to meet those objectives. Their commitment includes monthly meetings to review progress, make strategic decisions and educate themselves on an increasingly complex business.
