Board of Directors

Board Of Directors 2026

Your Neighbors, Your Board of Directors

BEK's directors are members, just like you. They farm, ranch, run businesses, and raise families in the communities BEK serves. Members in five districts elect nine directors, who meet monthly to guide the cooperative's growth and ensure rural North Dakotans have quality communications services at a reasonable cost.

Thank you to each director for giving so generously of your dedication, time, and talent.
