Become a Candidate for the Board of Trustees

South Central Power Company is guided by a board of trustees who are also members of the cooperative. They are your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and fellow community members.

The board has a responsibility to:

  • Represent co-op members’ best interests when making decisions affecting your electric service
  • Be strong leaders who understand the needs of the local area and can help keep the cooperative — and the community — flourishing

South Central Power needs members like you to fill these incredibly important positions.
