The Okanogan County Electric Co-operative (OCEC) is soliciting candidates for its board of directors. OCEC members will be electing three directors for three-year terms. There are seven board members in all.
There are three directors up for election. Incumbents Dale Sekijima and Travis Thornton are running for re-election. Sara Carlberg is stepping down.
Nominees need to meet three qualifications: Be an OCEC member receiving service, not be actively employed by or financially interested in a competing enterprise or a business selling power to OCEC, and not be related to an OCEC officer or employee. All seats are at large.
The OCEC annual meeting and election are April 17 at the Winthrop Barn. Ballots will be mailed to co-op members in late March.
Any OCEC member interested in running should contact Curtis Edwards on the nominating committee at calanedwards@icloud.com. The deadline for nominations is Feb. 27.
