Board of Directors
A Cooperative is a democracy in action. Members run the cooperative through their elected representative on the Board of Directors. Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative includes five districts, each with representation on the board. The Board of Directors is the governing body of the cooperative. State, and federal law, the articles of incorporation, and the bylaws of the cooperative govern the actions of the board.
