Board of Directors

A seven-member Board of Directors governs the Custer Public Power District. The Board meets monthly and is responsible for setting guidelines for our operation, overseeing the costs and spending at the District, and planning our future direction.

The board comprises seven individuals who serve for a six-year term. They are elected at large in the general election of even-numbered years. Any customer whose primary residence is in Custer Power’s territory can run for the board in the fall general election.

Custer’s board meetings are normally held on the last Thursday of each month and begin at
10:00 a.m. (CT) in the District’s Headquarters at 625 East South E in Broken Bow. The meetings are open to the public.

If you have questions about board responsibilities or about the voting process or would like more information about the current Board of Directors, please contact Custer Power at 308-872-2451.
