What it Means to be a Lane-Scott Trustee

The Board of Trustees is a vital part of an Electric Cooperative. Duties will include setting policies, understanding the financial position of the cooperative, approving work plans, strategies, rates, and any other situation needing trustee attention. Fulfilling a board position is a commitment to a three-year term, to learning and serving, attending monthly meetings, and representing Lane-Scott at other organizations such as Sunflower Electric, the Kansas Electric Cooperatives, Inc., and other meetings and interests as arise.

The Lane-Scott Electric board consists of nine trustees who represent our eight county service territory. Trustee jurisdictions are divided into county districts in which trustees must have electric service in to represent as a trustee. Districts and seats per county district are as follows:

  • Finney / Hodgeman - 2 seats

  • Lane / Gove - 3 seats

  • Ness / Rush - 2 seats

  • Scott / Logan - 2 seats

The trustee positions whose three-year terms have expired will be open to nominations to run for election. Incumbent trustees currently serving can re-run for election if they choose to continue their service on the board. This three-year position is subject to election by the membership at the Annual Meeting of Members held in July.   

Basic Qualifications of a Trustee:

  • Be a member and bona fide resident of the county or counties the member is to represent.

  • Using, receiving, or purchasing a cooperative service in the county or counties the member is to represent.

  • Not having a conflict of interest.

  • Having not been an employee of the cooperative within the past five years.

Any member who meets the qualifications of the county district who's trustee's three-year term has expired can apply to be considered for nomination. Following the nomination period, a committee consisting of 5 to 11 members selected from different sections of the service area shall meet to prepare and post at the principal office of the Cooperative a list of nominations for trustees.

Trustee nominations were reviewed by the nominating committee on May 1, 2023 for the 2023 election. If interested in becoming a Trustee of Lane-Scott Electric in future years, contact the Lane-Scott Electric General Manager by calling 620-397-5327.
