Know Your
Directors—
What makes SLECA different from other electric utilities in
South Louisiana is a board of directors elected by you, the
member-owners. The directors are themselves SLECA members and
are local residents. It is member ownership and member
representation on the board of directors that makes SLECA such a
people-oriented business.
