MAC

 

Golden Valley Electric Association's Member Advisory Committee (MAC) serves in an advisory capacity to the board of directors and acts as a sounding board between members and the board.

MAC members meet monthly and serve three-year terms. They receive $45 per meeting and 50¢ per mile for travel to meetings.

Last year, MAC members:

"I'd opened my monthly GVEA bill and was astounded at the total amount and the separate cost of 'fuel.' That bill had an insert about joining the MAC. I thought it would be a great opportunity to ask hard questions about fuel, energy efficiency, the Healy Clean Coal Plant, etc. I wanted a real face-to-face dialog with those 'in charge.'"

- MAC Member Sue Sprinkle

 

 

The MAC is made up of three members from each of GVEA's seven geographic districts. MAC members serve on co-op committees such as district nominating committees, the annual meeting committee, bylaw review committee and serve as election judges for annual board elections

 

March 22 is the deadline to volunteer. All GVEA members (except employees) are eligible to volunteer. The MAC will be selected by current MAC members whose terms are not expiring this spring.
