Lake Country Power elects new board members

A community of cooperative members “plugged in” — literally — to Lake Country Power for a virtual annual meeting held via Zoom videoconference Thursday evening, April 15. More than 125 members and guests heard about working through the pandemic, favorable achievements in 2020, new meters, and the co-op’s commitment to manage member resources wisely.

Director election results were announced. District 3 was a special election to fill a two-year vacancy. The other three districts will fill three-year terms. Candidates ran unopposed in Districts 1 and 5.

In the Pine Knot News coverage area, Larry Anderson of Esko got the most votes with 423 to represent District 9, followed by Paul Horgen of Sturgeon Lake with 246 and Kevin Maki of Saginaw with 313 votes.

Immediately following the adjournment of the annual meeting, the board of directors held a reorganizational meeting. Craig Olson from District 7 was elected the new board president.
