2024 Annual Meeting & Election Updates

Kootenai Electric Cooperative’s (KEC) 86th Annual Meeting of the Membership took place at KEC’s new headquarters in Rathdrum on May 30, 2024. Attendees enjoyed a barbeque dinner, tours of the facility, and the opportunity to win 1 of many prizes. Thank you to all the members who attended the event.

Three board seats were up for election in 2024. District 2 and District At-Large were contested elections with 2 candidates each. District 5 was uncontested with only one candidate. Per KEC’s Bylaws if there is only one candidate in a district seeking election, then the candidate is elected by acclamation at the Annual Meeting. Congratulations to Jim Robbins, Crystal Musselman, and Bill Swick who were re-elected by the membership.
