United Power hosting event to meet Board of Director candidates in Brighton March 13

United Power is inviting its members to a meet and greet the four candidates running for election to the United Power Board of Directors in 2025.

The three director candidates are incumbent Ursula J. Morgan in the North District, incumbent Keith Alquist in the Central District, and incumbent Beth Martin and new candidate Ryan Keefer in the South District.

United Power will hold a “Meet the Candidates” event at 6 p.m. March 13 at the United Power headquarters Office, 500 Cooperative Way, Brighton. The event doesn’t require an RSVP and is open to all members so they can learn about each candidate’s platform and how they can serve their communities.

If you can’t attend in person, the Meet the Candidates event will be live-streamed at www.unitedpower.com. It will also include candidate platform statement videos available on the cooperative’s website the following day.

Directors represent all members and are elected on an “at-large” basis. This means members may vote for a director in each district, not just their own. United Power allows members to vote online or return their mail ballots before the April 15 deadline, according to officials. 

According to officials, each candidate’s written platform statement will be published in the March edition of the cooperative’s newsletter, the United Newsline, and on its website at www.unitedpower.com/annual-meeting. Director candidate contribution reports will also be available online.

According to officials, ballots will be mailed to all members on March 14. On the same day, online voting will open through the member portal. Members can vote electronically via their online accounts or by mail. 

Additionally, members may vote in person during the annual meeting starting at 4:30 p.m. Registration opens at 4:30 p.m., and on-site balloting closes at the start of the official business meeting at 6:30 p.m. 

According to officials, once the votes are cast and counted, the results of the Director election will be announced at the 2025 annual meeting, scheduled for April 16 at the Riverdale Regional Park & Fairground, and will be live-streamed on the United Powers website. 

All members are invited to attend to learn about the cooperative’s accomplishments, review its financial performance, and hear the results of the director elections, according to officials.
