402 Director Qualifications

No person shall be eligible to become or remain a director of the Cooperative who is not a natural person and is not a member in good standing of the Cooperative and receiving service therefrom at one’s primary residence.  No person shall be eligible to become or remain a director of the Cooperative who is not at least eighteen years of age or is in any way employed by or financially interested in a competing enterprise, or a business selling electric energy or supplies to the Cooperative, or a business primarily engaged in selling electrical appliances, fixtures or supplies to, among others, the members of the Cooperative.

Upon establishment of the fact that a nominee for director lacks eligibility under this section or as may be provided elsewhere in these Bylaws, it shall be the duty of the chairman presiding at the meeting at which such nominee would otherwise be voted upon to disqualify such nominee.  Such unqualified nominee shall be notified of the ineligibility as soon as possible.

Upon establishment of the fact that any person being considered for, or already holding, a directorship lacks eligibility under this section, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to withhold such position from such person, or to cause such person to be removed therefrom, as the case may be.  Nothing in this section shall, or shall be construed to, affect in any manner whatsoever the validity of any action taken at any meeting of the board of directors, unless such action is taken with respect to a matter which is affected by the provisions in which one or more of the directors have an interest adverse to that of the Cooperative.
