Our policies are established by our elected Board of Directors.
 
Each of the Board's five members is elected by the voting public in his or her political subdivision, and serves a four-year term. Our General Manager oversees our day-to-day administration and operations, which are conducted by our approximately 145 employees. The Board elects it's own President, Vice-President, etc., at the beginning of each year.

2. In public, I will talk positively about the organization, fellow Board members, staff and employees.

4.

I will be an active team member, be prepared for the various Board decision issues, and fulfill my responsibilities to participate in decisions as expected of a Board member.
5. When I hold a particular point of view, I will be open to discussion and provide my rationale both for and against the pending decision and make that decision in the best interests of our constituents.

8. I will try to protect all Board members and the General Manager from unnecessary liability or harm by following all legal and professional rules and regulations.
9. If I have a concern with another team member, I will go to that person first and share my concerns in a positive, timely, and private manner and, if needed, use a third party to help with the issue.
