Directors - Members Serving Members

The cooperative's directors are EnerStar members, just like you. You and your fellow co-op members elect them to set policy and govern the co-op. There are nine directors on the board, each residing in and representing a specific district in the cooperative. Any EnerStar member who resides in the appropriate district can for a directorship. Elections are held before the Annual Meeting of Members.

EnerStar's service territory is divided into three Voting Districts, with each Voting District having three Representative Districts. Annual elections are held for one representative district in each Voting District. The terms for directors are three years. Provided below is a map and legal descriptions for each district. If you are unsure about which district you reside in, feel free to call our office at 800-635-4145.

The EnerStar Board of Directors generally meets on the last Tuesday of each month.
