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
In 2026, all three incumbent trustees ran for reelection.
