The Directors are elected to serve staggered, three-year terms, by position. The election is held on the second Tuesday in December each year. In order to file for election, a Declaration of Candidacy and Petition for Nomination must be filed by 5 p.m. on the first Monday in November. The Declaration must indicate which position the filing is for. If only one candidate files for office, no election is held and the single candidate is declared elected.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors is the policy-making body. They are responsible for the adoption of rules and policies which will implement Chapter 87 of R.C.W. The Board of Directors hires a general manager, who is responsible for the administration and day-to-day operation of the District. All employees report to the general manager.<\/p>\n<h2>Board of Directors<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-408514777\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-476685221\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37102 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Peterson-Director.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Peterson-Director.png 600w, https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Peterson-Director-255x340.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">David Peterson<br \/>\n2024 Chair<br \/>\nServing since 1996<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1793216555\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35945 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/floyd.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"194\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Floyd Schmedding<br \/>\nServing since 2002<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1851039745\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35942 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brayn2-low-res2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"153\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Bryan St. Clair<br \/>\n2024 Vice Chair<br \/>\nServing since 2023<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-771872871\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1699046487\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35944 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/diana-lo-res2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Diana Wilhite<br \/>\nServing since 2018<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1674378783\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35947 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steve-low-res2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Steve Wulf<br \/>\nServing since 2008<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-561720488\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-38739 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jim-fields.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jim-fields.png 450w, https:\/\/verawaterandpower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jim-fields-255x340.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Jim Fields<br \/>\nGeneral Manager<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1562380381\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1319894932\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governance Vera Water and Power is organized and operates under Chapter 87 of the Revised Code of the State of Washington.
