Code of Regulations

Changes proposed to modernize the co-op's Code of Regulations

Members will vote on changes during the annual co-op election in March.

Beginning this March, members are asked to vote on suggested amendments to the current Code of Regulations.

These proposed changes have been reviewed and approved by the co-op’s board of trustees with the intent of updating the code to meet modern standards and practices.

 

This video explains proposed changes to the Code of Regulations.

Dan Harris (Board Chair) and John Metcalf (President & CEO) provide an overview of the recommended changes to modernize the co-op's Code of Regulations.

Please contact our offices for any questions regarding these changes.

An evolving guide for the operation of your co-op

The Code of Regulations, also known as the cooperative’s bylaws, is considered a living document and should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it serves the needs of co-op members and meets all applicable laws.

The Code of Regulations contains the rules under which the cooperative operates. It addresses key issues such as memberships, annual and special meetings, board nominations and elections, corporate officers, patronage, mergers, indemnification rights, and more.

Amendments or changes to the Code of Regulations can only be approved by the cooperative’s membership.

Why updates are needed now

The last proposed revision to the Code of Regulations was approved in 2013. Since then, there have been changes to the way organizations carry out business and interact with consumers.

The evolution of technology, new state and federal laws, and changes in the electricity industry have prompted the cooperative’s board of trustees to consider certain amendments to the document at this time.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to several items where changes (such as member meeting format and notification) could better equip your co-op to carry out its mission in the future.

Many of these issues were never a concern previously and therefore, have not been considered within the scope or language of the Code of Regulations in prior revisions.

What changes are being proposed?

It is our goal and duty to be completely transparent with these changes. While the recommended changes to the current document may look extensive, many of the changes simply include today’s technologies while better aligning the Code of Regulations to current operating protocols for businesses and electric cooperatives.

 

For any questions regarding the proposed code changes, or to request paper copies of these documents, please contact our offices.
