The business and affairs of Cotton Electric Cooperative are managed by a Board of nine Trustees representing geographical districts within the service territory. The Board establishes the overall policies of the cooperative and each Trustee is a co-op member who represents the district in which he or she lives. Any member desiring to run for the office of Trustee from the district of his or her residence must complete and file a Board Candidacy Form at least 30 days prior to the District Meeting. The file must be a physical copy submitted to the Cotton Electric headquarters in Walters. The form will be reviewed by the Cooperative’s General Counsel and is designed to ensure that all candidates are eligible to be a candidate and remain a Trustee prior to the election.
