Board Director Candidate Information

2022 Board of Directors Election

On March 16, 2022 (and for the first time since 2004) the LPEA Board of Directors voted to cancel the 2022 LPEA director election in all four districts.  

In accordance with LPEA Bylaws, one seat in each of LPEA's four districts comes up for election annually. If there is only one nominee for a position on the board for a district, the board may cancel the election for that district and, by resolution, declare the sole nominee elected to the board. 

As no challenger applications were received, Holly Metzler (District 1 – Archuleta County), Dan Huntington (District 2 – South & West La Plata County), Joe Lewandowski (District 3 – City of Durango), and John Witchel (District 4 – North & East La Plata County) are re-elected as a director of their respective districts as of May 12, 2022, for a three-year term. Click the links above to access the candidate's signature sheets as required to run for a director seat.

Members will not receive a ballot in the mail this year, given the cancellation. Members are still encouraged to attend and participate in LPEA's 2022 Annual Meeting at the LPEA headquarters in Bodo Park – or via Zoom – on Thursday, May 12 at 5:00 p.m. For more details, click HERE.
