Annual Meeting preview

Louie Ward Manager of Tallapoosa River Electric

Later this month we will be mailing you the Official Notice of the Annual Membership Meeting. We commonly call this the Blue Book, named for the blue paper upon which it is printed. You will notice a slightly new format in this year’s edition. First, I’ll go ahead and tell you that with the lack of a quorum at the 2022 Annual Membership Meeting, the board of trustees opted for a mail-only version.

Changes this year will include:

Trustee elections, complete with brief biographies of candidates.

A proposal to amend the Cooperative’s ByLaws. The purpose of the revision is to better match wording in the Cooperative’s Bylaws to agree with wording in the Alabama Cooperative statute regarding the use of mail-in balloting. The typical surplus equipment auction will be held in September at a date and time to be announced in the September issue of this publication and on our website.

So, in the mailing you will receive later this month, a form will be included. You can return this form to vote for candidates and to either approve or reject the proposed changes to the Cooperative’s Bylaws. If you choose to return your form, you will receive a $10 bill credit. Complete instructions will be included in the Official Notice of the Annual Membership Meeting.

I hope you have a great month!
