Blachly-Lane offers multiple ways for members to get involved! Want to be part of making big decisions? Maybe meetings aren’t for you?
There are opportunities for everyone, regardless of your level of commitment, there are ways you can get involved in the local community!
Have you ever considered running for the Blachly-Lane Board of Directors? How much do you know about your co-op board? Does it matter who is on your co-op board? If you care about the future of your co-op, would like to represent your district in the overseeing and decision-making process and the ongoing conversation about the direction of our Co-op, and can attend monthly meetings as well as spend some time preparing for these meetings, consider running for a seat on the board.
Behind the scenes of every incorporated institution is a very important group of people – the Board of Directors. The board members of Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative, elected by the membership, are entrusted by the membership with ultimate responsibility for the co-op’s success. Success for a co-op means that the business thrives financially and equally importantly, that staff and members properly implement the purpose, mission, and principles of the co-op.
You can’t fit meetings into your busy schedule, but you would still like to support Blachly-Lane and other rural co-ops?
Cooperatives across Oregon are encouraging their members to come together to promote common-sense solutions by way of our grassroots program; Voices for Cooperative Power. Voices for Cooperative Power gives you a platform to talk about the many ways your electric co-op supports your community. Oregon cooperatives are subjected to mandates or other proposals that challenge our ability to deliver the electricity you need – when you need it – at a price you can afford. Join thousands of other Oregon electric cooperative members who are already part of this vital program. Visit the Voices for Cooperative Power website to learn more and to get involved!
