The original PREMA board of directors was formed by the incorporators of the Panhandle Rural Electric Membership Association in 1945.  Hilda E. Black was the first president of the board.  The number of directors was reduced from 11 to seven in 1949. 

The seven members of our Board of Directors are elected by the members at the annual meeting each year on a rotating basis.  The board meets monthly at PREMA's main office at 251 Brayton Road (East Highway 2) in Alliance.

The voting for directors is done by ballot.  The ballots and return envelope are included with the notice of annual meeting.  Ballots are received until 9 a.m. on the day of the annual meeting.  The results of the election are announced at the annual meeting.  Our board of directors consists of:
