2009 Election

PEC is committed to open and democratic elections for its Board of Directors. This year members voted for three positions on the Board: District 1 Director, District 6 Director, and District 7 Director. The requirements to serve on the Board are listed in our Bylaws.

Election Services Corporation (ESC), the same independent election services company that ran the 2008 election, distributed, received, and tabulated all ballots this year. Packets including ballots and candidates' biographies were mailed to members May 6. Online and mail-in voting ended June 12, and members also voted in person at the PEC Annual Membership Meeting on June 20.
