In 2019, Mr. Bobbitt will begin serving his second term and Mr. Ferries will begin serving his third term. Mr. Bollingberg will begin serving his first term as a member director representing the state of North Dakota.
Two independent director seats will also be filled in 2018 through a district-wide election. Ballots will be distributed to all eligible voting members for voting in the independent director election on September 27, 2018.
