Our Board of Trustees represents our member-owners.

The Board of Trustees is legally responsible to the members of Blackfoot Telephone Cooperative for the organization’s management. Blackfoot’s Board typically meets monthly and employs a CEO who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the organization. All Trustees serve a three-year term. Nomination and election of Trustees occurs at Blackfoot’s Annual Member Meeting. Each Trustee represents one of nine districts that encompass all of Blackfoot’s cooperative communities.
