“Democratic member control is one the seven key cooperative principles,” said Raccoon Valley Electric Cooperative CEO Jim Gossett. “As a member-owned electric cooperative, our member-owners play an important role in helping set the co-op’s direction. We rely on member-owners to elect directors to represent them and determine the co-op’s policies and priorities. We encourage member-owners to participate in this year’s board election and make their voices heard.” 

RVEC’s board is comprised of 7 directors, one from each of the co-op’s seven districts. Directors serve three-year terms. 

The 2025 business-only Annual Meeting is scheduled for September 17, 2025, at the Glidden headquarters, 28725 Hwy. 30, Glidden, Iowa, with more details to come.
