Election Update
We had two board seats up for election. District 3 was a contested election with two candidates. District 4 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 District 3 director Todd Hoffman and District 4 director David Bobbitt who were re-elected by the membership. Learn more about our Board of Directors.
