Board of Director Elections

We have a three member, At-Large Board. Each position comes with a three year term unless we have an early position vacancy. Nomination Petition Form availability and timelines are publically announced per Oregon Revised Statute guidelines. There is no limit on how many terms a board member may serve. Being on the Board is a serious commitment and it's recommended that those interested in running for the Board attend and participate in several board meetings to learn about the legal requirements, business operations, and affairs of the District.

For information about upcoming elections:  Inquire with Mikayla Schembari at: 64672 Cook Ave., STE 1, Bend, OR  97703, or by phone at 541-388-0658. Formal election notices will be posted in a local newspaper (typically The Bulletin) per Oregon Revised Statute guidelines.
