Congratulations to the winners of our 2025 Director Election!

HCREC members participated in Democratic Member Control, one of the seven cooperative principles, to elect their representatives on the board of directors. This year districts five, six, and seven were up for election. The candidates included:

District 1: Lynn Christensen, Brenda Lundergard

District 3: Tom Bothwell, Victor "Vic" Crowder

District 9: Tim Faylor, Michele Stirtz

Members could vote for their directors by mail in ballot or in person in the REC lobby on Wednesday April 9th. The election was overseen by Amanda James from Sullivan and Ward along with four member volunteers to serve as officers of election.

The winners of this year’s election are:

District 1: Brenda Lundergard

District 3: Tom Bothwell

District 9: Tim Faylor

We want to thank everyone who voted for their time to help us move our cooperative to a brighter future and to Annie Freihage, Phil Lubbers, Kennedy Straight, and Margaret Sandquist who assisted with ballot counting. We are excited to work with our newly elected directors and appreciate the support from our members.
