At a recent Board meeting, each ECI REC Director selected a member-consumer from their District to serve on ECI REC’s Nominating Committee. The committee’s purpose is to nominate one to two ECI REC members as candidates for the Director positions that are up for election this year. The vote will take place at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Members.

There are two positions up for election. You can find more information about these Board Districts below. Click here to learn more about the responsibilities of being a Director.

If you are interested in being a candidate for one of the positions, would like to make a recommendation, or have a petition nominating a member, please contact the Nominating Committee member representing the District you or the nominee could represent. Nominations may also be submitted to the Urbana office.

Nominations by petition must have 35 names. Candidates must live in the Board District they could potentially represent. All nominations must be registered at the Urbana Administrative Headquarters before 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 16, 2023. On that date, all candidates will be reviewed and nominations confirmed at a meeting of the Nominating Committee.
