How senior leadership serves you
MTE’s Senior Leadership team manages the cooperative’s daily operations. The team provides direction for employees as they carry out MTE’s purpose, mission, and vision.
Our members elect the MTE Board of Directors. The board selects the president and CEO, who leads the senior leadership team and manages daily cooperative operations. This creates a clear line of accountability from members to the board and from the board to the CEO.
MTE serves to make life better for its members. Senior leadership directs the daily work behind MTE’s mission of providing affordable, reliable, safe electricity and outstanding member service.
MTE’s senior leaders live and work in the communities the cooperative serves. Their local connection supports a leadership model rooted in the same communities as MTE’s members.
