Those attending board meetings include the Board of Directors, CEO, Cooperative staff and other invitees from consultants and associated organizations as needed to provide necessary information to the Directors. Individual members are not allowed to attend board meetings. MVEC’s board meetings are not subject to Iowa’s open meeting laws and only directors who serve as fiduciaries on the member’s behalf have a right to attend and participate. Individual members shall be provided reasonable opportunity to meet with the Cooperative’s CEO or his/her designee about any concerns or problems regarding the Cooperative’s services and operations and Cooperative staff can discuss with the Board of Directors if necessary. In the event a member feels that after such a meeting and discussion they would like to meet with the full Board, they may make a written request for an informational meeting with the Board of Directors that would take place outside of the regular Board Meeting. It will not be the practice of the Board to take action or make a decision on any items addressed at the informational meeting until the Board convenes in its regular session. Any action taken shall be conveyed to the member(s) by the CEO following the Board meeting.
