NORA Board of Trustees Cancel Annual Meeting and Chama Valley Open Golf Tournament During the June 2020 board meeting, the Board of Trustees of Northern Río Arriba Electric Cooperative, after much discussion and deliberation, decided it would be in the best interest of the community to cancel the upcoming Chama Valley Open Annual Golf Tournament and the 70th Annual Member Meeting due to the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NORA’s 70th Annual Meeting NORA’s Annual Meeting, which would have taken place on the fourth Monday of September, will be the first time in its 70-year history to be canceled. Nearly 200 co-op members annually attend the event for lunch and for a full presentation of the overall operational status of the co-op.
