Leadership

The Board of Directors is the policy making body of the Cooperative. To be eligible to serve on the Board, each director must be a member of Sumter EMC and meet the eligibility requirements listed in the Cooperative's bylaws. Members elect directors on a rotation basis to serve 3-year terms. Elections are held each year at the Annual Meeting. Each member has one vote, and all members are encouraged to attend.

The Board meets at the Sumter EMC headquarters in Americus, Georgia  on the last Thursday of each month from January through October. Due to Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the meeting days in November and December vary from year to year. For 2023, the November board meeting will be held on November 30th and the December meeting will be held on December 21st.
