Annual Meeting
Your membership does more than provide electric service. It makes you part of a progressive business. We encourage you to take an active part in your business by attending the annual meeting in June. This is your opportunity to hear industry updates and reports on our cooperative's progress and strategic plans, to ask questions, and to learn about the newest services available to you.
