Director Responsibility

Pella Cooperative Electric is guided by an elected Board of Directors who represent its member-consumers’ best interest when making important decisions for the cooperative.  Accepting responsibility to assume the position of a board member for the cooperative should not be taken lightly.  Some of the responsibilities the Board face include development of policy, governance standards and practices, setting rates, understanding power supply, strategic planning, financial decision making, promoting the cooperative business model, gaining insights on political and environmental impacts, and meeting member-consumer expectations.

While directors are not salaried, they do receive compensation for meetings attended and reimbursed for travel and training expenses.
