COMMITTEE SEEKS CANDIDATES FOR DISTRICT SIX BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION.
United Electric Cooperative Services, Inc. (United) is searching for qualified candidates for consideration to be placed on the ballot by the cooperative’s Committee on Nominations for the 2025 Board of Directors election this Fall.
The District Six position will be up for election in October 2025. Per United’s bylaws and board policy, as such when an incumbent director affirms he or she is not seeking re-election to the board, the board president shall appoint a Nominees Search Committee composed of three directors from the board and three members from the area from which the incumbent director not seeking re-election was elected.
The board president shall appoint the three non-director members of the committee in consultation with the incumbent director and the committee. Once the committee has been appointed and ratified by the full board, the search for nominees for consideration by the cooperative’s Committee on Nominations pursuant to Section 4.06 of the bylaws will begin.
At the regular board meeting on Nov. 25, 2024, the United board ratified the following search committee for Director District 6:
Director Members:
- Harry Thompson, Chair of Committee
- Patsy Dumas
- Clif Hall
Non-Director Members:
- Mel Birdwell, Granbury
- Leonard Heathington, Granbury

The Nominees Search Committee shall vet candidate applications and meet with the board and discuss its recommendations. The board, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, shall, from those individuals recommended by the committee, select not more than three potential nominees to be considered by the Committee on Nominations. The board shall be the arbiter of any dispute regarding the selection by the board of any potential nominee pursuant to this policy or the qualification of any individuals recommended for consideration by the Committee on Nominations as a potential nominee.
The deadline for applications will be 5 p.m. on March 3, 2025. Interested candidates can learn more about candidate participation by contacting United’s Executive Assistant Lindsey Mobley at (817) 782-8381 with questions.
