Three seats on the board of directors for the nonprofit, member-owned Yampa Valley Electric Association cooperative are up for re-election this spring. Nomination packets for members wanting to run for those director seats are due by April 25.

Board of director nomination packets will be available on the YVEA website and in the YVEA offices starting April 10.

This year, the three seats up for election include: Director Patrick Delaney for District 5, which serves Hayden and the surrounding area; Director Dan LeBlanc for District 7, which is within Steamboat Springs; and Director Steve Booker for District 4, which serves the southern area of Moffat County including south of Craig and west to Maybell and Elk Springs.

Both Booker and Delaney say they plan to run for re-election for their director seats. LeBlanc said he will not run for re-election because his family is moving out of the Steamboat city limits and District 7.

The nine-member YVEA board determines policies and direction for the member-owned association. Applicants for board seats must live within the director district boundaries to run for election for that seat. The district map is available online at YVEA.com/about-us/board-of-directors/board-district-map.

YVEA serves some 23,000 members and 28,430 electric meters.

A nomination for director must be made by a written petition signed by at least 15 members of the electric association.

Voting this year for the board of directors will be available by mail or by email, and ballots will be mailed and emailed on May 23. The annual membership meeting is set for June 24 at the YVEA office in Steamboat. More information is available online at YVEA.com/about-us/annual-meeting.
