Members interested in running for a position on Medina Electric Cooperative’s board of directors will need to complete an online petition with at least 30 valid member signatures from members who have electric service in the voting district the potential nominee wishes to represent.

Online petitions will open 8 a.m. on January 2 and close at 5 p.m. on March 3.

Medina EC is run by a nine-person board of directors elected by members who receive power from the cooperative. Each one of Medina EC’s three voting districts has a position open for election each year. Elections generally take place in September and the petition and paperwork are the first steps to being considered as a candidate for the election. The board is responsible for setting operating policies for the cooperative and making decisions regarding the financial health and well-being of the organization.
