Board Compensation

Board member compensation 
We are focused on the cooperative’s governance and remain transparent when reporting board member compensation each year. Our board members receive a per diem for attending meetings and training but do not get paid a salary or receive benefits like health insurance. The average annual compensation is $15,000 per board member, which varies based on office and certification. The chart below is based on data received from the latest National Director Survey conducted by NRECA. The chart compares our board member compensation to the compensation received by electric cooperative board members nationally, regionally, and from co-ops of the same size.
