What are directors?
A nine-member board of directors governs MWEC. These nine individuals are fellow members of the cooperative and are elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting. The directors serve terms of three years each. Their regular board meeting is on the last Wednesday of each month, where they meet to discuss financial issues, policies and any other issues facing the cooperative.

Each year at the MWEC Annual Meeting, three director seats (one each from East, Central and West Districts) are elected.
