The 2025 Board Elections will take place on May 6, 2025.

Board elections occur every two years (2025- most recent election). The positions are staggered so there’s not an entirely new board at one time.

To be considered for a Board position, the interested party must submit a letter of interest to the board. The window for submission depends on when the election occurs. You can learn more by attending Board meetings or contacting Station 1.
