The board governs the business and affairs of KIUC and is generally concerned with the broad courses of action to be followed by the utility and not involved in the day-to-day utility operations.
Qualified KIUC members may also be nominated by collecting 35 signatures of other members (electric account holders) in good standing and by submitting a completed Member Petition to the Nominating Committee no later than Feb. 9.
