Members of a cooperative are represented by elected board members who help shape the policy and procedures of the cooperative. Board members fill the position for a period of three years, in which a general member election is held. Garkane is made up of 11 districts spread out over our service territory in South-Central Utah and Northern Arizona. Members interested in running for a board position must fill out a petition with fifteen member signatures and turn it into any Garkane office. Members can contact their respective board members with questions or concerns.
