Committee Reports

To remain fully engaged with strategic initiatives and other aspects of cooperative governance, the BEC Board of Trustees has established a series of operating and strategic committees whose members dedicate their time and expertise to specific projects. All BEC member-owners are encouraged to join board committees of interest. To join a committee-give us a call (406) 446-2310 or contact the committee chair. All committee meetings are open and member-owner attendance is welcomed. Committee meetings are listed under the Meeting & Events section of the home page. On an annual basis the Board shall review the Membership of each Committee. The 2022 Committees were reviewed and approved at the June 28, 2022 regular board meeting.

Committee Chairs present a report at each board meeting. Frequently reports are verbal. Written committee reports are available at the following links. If you would like to review a particular report not listed here, please refer to the board meeting minutes under My BEC, Board Meetings & Agendas.
