BOARD OVERVIEW
Wild Rose REA is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The Board represents members and is responsible for the strategic direction, governance, financial oversight and policy of the Association.
The Board’s role is to ensure decisions are made in the long-term interests of members. This includes supporting safe and reliable service, responsible system investment, sound financial oversight and the continued strength and sustainability of the co-operative.
Board members bring practical experience, local knowledge and a direct connection to the communities Wild Rose REA serves. They understand the importance of reliable power to rural homes, farms, businesses and community spaces and help ensure member perspectives are reflected in the governance and future direction of the Association.
Members have a direct role in this governance model by electing the Board and participating in key decisions brought forward to the membership. The Annual General Meeting provides an important opportunity to hear updates from the Association, ask questions and participate in the co-operative’s governance.
