Flathead Electric Cooperative board elections soon

On Friday, March 20, ballots were mailed to all Flathead Electric Cooperative members. This year, there are three vacant trustee positions on the ballot representing Districts 2, 3 and 5.

All members vote for each vacant position, regardless of where they reside.

As a candidate for District 2, I would like to introduce myself and encourage you to return your ballots within the allotted 30 days. Prior to running for the Flathead Electric Cooperative board, I served as the Chair of the Kalispell Regional Healthcare board and am currently serving on the Health Center board. My other community service includes being elected to the Lakeside Community Council, serving as the president of the Lakeside-Somers Chamber of Commerce and past president of the Kalispell Rotary Club.

I am willing to commit the time to fully understand the governance of the jewel that is our local co-op. I have enjoyed a 40-year banking career and am the president of the Flathead Bank of Lakeside. ?I would appreciate the support of the Libby members.

Please consider voting for me. Remember to check your mailbox for your ballot and return it as soon as possible.

— Muffie Thomson, Lakeside
