New Year, New Opportunity to Lead BEK Into the Future

January 2025

As we welcome 2025, I’d like to take a moment to thank you for being a vital part of the BEK family. Together, we’ve built a legacy of service and innovation that has spanned more than 70 incredible years. As we prepare for our 73rd Annual Meeting later this spring, I want to share an exciting opportunity for you to play an active role in shaping BEK’s future.


Our cooperative thrives because of the strong voices and visionary leadership of our Board of Directors. This year, we’re looking for members who are ready to step forward and serve as advocates for our community. Could that be you?


Ideal candidates for the Board are community-minded, forward-thinking, and committed to the cooperative values that have guided us for decades. If you are passionate about embracing emerging technologies, willing to invest time and energy into guiding our cooperative, and ready to represent the rich legacy of BEK, I encourage you to consider a candidacy for the Board of Directors.


Serving on the Board is a rewarding way to ensure BEK continues to meet the evolving needs of our members while staying true to our mission. If this opportunity excites you, please reach out to a member of the Nomination Committee in your district to learn more about how you can contribute to BEK’s ongoing success.


Here’s to a bright and prosperous New Year for all of us at BEK! Together, let’s make 2025 another remarkable chapter in our shared story.
