2023 board of director elections results
CORE’s nearly 5,000-square-mile service area is divided into seven geographic districts based on population. Members within each district elect a fellow member to serve a four-year term on the Board of Directors and represent their interests in CORE business and policies. Director elections recently took place in Districts 1, 2, 4 and 6. An independent election vendor, Survey Ballots and Systems, conducted the elections, and results were announced at the CORE annual meeting April 22.
