Sounding Board: Use your voice, run for our Board of Directors

Noble REMC’s directors are community-minded individuals with a variety of skill sets. Our board of directors is made up of farmers, business owners, bus drivers and more. We rely on their many talents to help us make informed decisions on long-term priorities and investments. Our directors live right here in our service area, and we consider them the eyes and ears of the community because they provide their perspective on important local issues. 

We recognize it takes many people with different skills to create a well-rounded board that can represent the full spectrum of our community. That’s why when we’re seeking  candidates, we want leaders with diverse perspectives, experience and expertise. We’re seeking local members of our community who can apply their unique talents to benefit all our friends and neighbors. But above all else, we’re looking for folks who love our community and want to see it thrive now and in the future. 

The energy industry is undergoing a major transition. Technology advancements and increased regulations are driving change. Noble REMC is facing big decisions, and board members have an opportunity to help chart a course for our future. To serve the community best, we need input from a wide range of people that represent the broad spectrum of views within community — and that includes you!
