Board of Directors

The board of director is the legal body which both the REMC member and the government hold accountable for the actions of the REMC. As an REMC member, the director serves on a part-time basis, attending board and committee meetings locally, as well as state and national seminars in order to keep informed, to testify for or against legislation affecting the REMC and to approve skills necessary to being good board members.

Specifically, the board of directors:

1. Determines policy guidelines for the daily operation of the REMC.
2. Employs a CEO to direct operations.
3. Determines a work plan and budget.
4. Sets rate and fee schedules for services.
5. Enters into contracts for power supply, services and loans for capital improvements.
6. Evaluates the performance of the REMC and CEO.
7. Reports to the member-owners of the financial condition of the REMC.

The eight-member board represents one of the eight districts located in 11 counties within the territory served by Utilities District of Western Indiana REMC. Those elected to serve are dedicated people who have the interests of all members and the organization at heart.
