​ReliabilityFirst is the result of the successful integration of three previously existing Regions (ECAR, MACC, and MAIN).  Given this unique background, our Board structure has been carefully designed to ensure balanced representation from the diverse entities across our footprint.  

• Eight Industry Sector director positions ensure entities have an equal voice, and the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) Industry Sector director position rotates to a different RTO each term to ensure active and equal RTO representation and guidance.
• Three At-Large director positions ensure geographic balance.
• Three (or Four) Independent director positions ensure independence and specific subject matter expertise.
