Following elections, Lane Electric added two more women to its board of directors. Now 6 out of 7 directors are female and Debi Wilson has been at the helm as general manager since 2019, making Lane Electric one of the few cooperatives in the country to be almost entirely female-led.
As a cooperative, Lane Electric is owned by its members who exercise their control by electing a total of seven board members by residential district. The board of directors determine the strategic plans, the general operating policies, the electric rates, and the annual operating budget for the cooperative.The full announcement can be found here and below. Please let me know if you have any questions.Thanks,Sophie, on behalf of Lane Electric
