Meet the Board

It is the Board’s responsibility to set utility policy and to hire and oversee the work of the general manager.
The Cowlitz PUD Board of Commissioners meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 2:00 p.m. in the John Searing Auditorium at the PUD at 961 12th Ave in Longview. These meetings are open to the public and customer participation is encouraged.
