Board of Trustees
A Cooperative is democracy in action. The member-owners run the cooperative through their elected representatives on the Board of Trustees. Beartooth Electric includes seven districts, each with a representative on the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the cooperative. State and federal law, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and Policies of the cooperative govern the actions of the board. See The Beartooth Way, Board Operating Principles.
