Board of Directors

Roseau Electric Cooperative is owned by its members.

About the Board

Roseau Electric Cooperative is organized as a cooperative and is owned by its members. Unlike many areas of government, every year is an election year for your member-owned electric cooperative. The membership gets to experience democracy in action and elects a board of directors to represent them in the operation of the cooperative. The board selects a chairman to lead the elected directors.

The board hires a general manager to carry out the daily operations of the cooperative. The board is comprised of nine member-directors, one from each director district.

Directors are elected to three-year terms according to the provisions in the bylaws.
Regularly scheduled board meetings are held in Roseau at the cooperative office starting at 9 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Specifically this means you will be required to state your name and a PIN number, or show government-issued ID for some requests such as: new service/change of service requests, conservation loans, reconnections and others. These procedures will help protect your identity. For more information about the law, please call 1-888-847-8840 or 218-463-1543.
