Join our Board of Directors

Applications due by June 15, 2024.

Mountain Health CO-OP is currently looking for prospective members to join its Board of Directors. Please consider applying if you have the interest and time.

Download and fill out this form and send back to [email protected] along with a one-page biography or simply fill out this form.

Newly elected board members will begin a 4-year term on January 1st, 2025.

Why join us?

When you purchased health insurance coverage, you may not have been thinking in terms of “joining” an organization; you may have simply been buying what you felt was the best available coverage at the most affordable price. The CO-OP is all of that: affordable, high quality health insurance. Our goal is to break the mold and improve on what our members may have experienced previously.

But we are so much more! We are a nonprofit, governed by and providing service to our fellow members. That is why we are committed to an open and transparent process of nominating and electing policyholders to our Board members.

This will not be a top-down process where the new Board members are hand-picked by existing Board members. We are encouraging interested CO-OP members ages 18 and older to apply.

Prospective candidates will be interviewed and screened. Candidates who successfully pass the process will be included on a slate of candidates for election in October 2024.

Applications close June 15.
