Local Leadership, Local Decisions

Unlike investor-owned utilities, Alfalfa Electric Cooperative isn’t run by distant shareholders. Our cooperative is governed by a member-elected Board of Trustees — your friends, neighbors, and local business owners who understand the unique needs of our service area.

They are elected to three-year terms and are responsible for representing the interests of all members across the Cooperative’s service area. Because we are a cooperative, you have the power to vote in board elections and even run for a trustee position yourself. This ensures that decisions are made locally, by people who understand and care about the communities we serve.

What does your board do?

  • Hires and oversees the CEO, who manages day-to-day activities
  • Supports long-term planning to ensure reliable, affordable service for years to come
  • Sets business policies that guide the cooperative’s operations

Exercise the Second Cooperative Principle: Democratic Member Control, and get to know your board members and vote at your board elections.

Board Meetings

The board of trustees meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at Alfalfa Electric Cooperative. For more information, please call Lexie Pullan at (580) 596-3333.
