Board of Directors
One of the guiding principles of cooperatives is democratic control. Midwest Energy & Communications is governed by a nine-member board of directors responsible for establishing corporate policy and strategic direction, hiring and evaluating the CEO, monitoring and evaluating organizational performance, and representing cooperative customers. Directors serve three-year terms and are elected by and represent customers living in their districts.
In 2024, Districts 3, 4, and 8 were up for election for three-year terms. All three board members representing those districts ran unopposed for reelection.
District 3 is represented by Ron Armstrong of Lawton. District 3 includes customers in Antwerp, Oshtemo, Portage, Prairie Ronde, and Texas townships.
District 4 is represented by Clarence “Topper” Barth of Three Rivers. District 4 includes customers in Brady, Fabius, Flowerfield, Leonidas, Lockport, Mendon, Newberg, Park, Schoolcraft, and Wakeshma townships.
District 8 is represented by Erika Escue-Cadieux of Onsted. District 8 includes customers in Cambridge, Clinton, Franklin, Raisin, Ridgeway, Tecumseh, and Woodstock townships.
In 2025, Districts 6, 7, and 9 will be up for election. District 6 is represented by Ben Russell of Constantine and includes Constantine, Florence, Mottville, Porter (Cass County), and White Pigeon townships in Michigan, as well as Washington and York townships in Indiana. District 7 is represented by Gerry Bundle of Cassopolis and includes Calvin, Jefferson, Mason, and Ontwa townships in Michigan, and Harris and Osolo townships in Indiana.
