elected by the members

Board of Trustees

Each of your nine Lincoln Electric trustees is elected by you, our members. Every trustee is a member of the cooperative and brings their own unique set of skills and knowledge to the board.

Lincoln Electric’s service area is divided into two districts, both of which have at least two representatives on the board. Board members serve three-year terms with three trustees elected each spring and announced at the Annual Meeting.

Responsibilities

Collectively, your Board of Trustees are responsible for establishing, reviewing, and revising corporate policies to ensure Lincoln Electric continues to keep service to the membership foremost in mind, while maintaining a stable, yet competitive, position in the industry.

Community Focused

Your Lincoln Electric trustees know about the need to stay involved with our communities. They know the members come first. How do they know? Because they are Lincoln Electric members who live and work right here and they are dedicated to making life a little better for us all.
