You have an opportunity to give back and serve your community by running for a seat on the Board of Trustees. This may be your chance to help set Tricounty Rural Electric Cooperative's policies, direction, and strategic focus. For this year's elections, petitions may be filed by members residing in Districts 2 and 3.
