Annual Meeting slated for June 26 Singing River Electric Power Association’s 2014 Annual Meeting is set for Thursday, June 26, at the Singing River Electric office located at 11187 Old 63 South in Lucedale. Registration will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the meeting to follow at 6 p.m. Business to be transacted at this year's annual meeting includes the election of three directors. Singing River Electric has a nineperson board of directors elected from three districts. Each district is represented by three directors. Each year one director from each district is up for election. To conduct business at the annual meeting, a quorum of at least 10 percent of the membership is necessary. The quorum is derived by adding the number of members present at the meeting, the valid online votes and the number of valid proxies received. Each member is entitled to one vote regardless of the number of accounts in the member's name. Any member may vote in person, online or by proxy. A proxy may be assigned to either the board of directors of the association or to another member. A member can vote up to 200 proxies at any meeting of the members. The presence of a member at the meeting, or in the case of a joint membership, the presence of either a husband or wife, shall revoke a proxy. The person holding the proxy must file the executed proxy at Singing River Electric's Lucedale office by June 20.
Nominations for election to the board of directors are made by petition. Nominations by petition may be made by a member acquiring signatures of 25 members on a form furnished by the association. Applicants must submit a Director Candidate Form and be certified as an eligible candidate by the Credentials and Election Committee before being placed on the ballot for election. The deadline for a nomination by petition to be placed on the annual meeting notice was March 31, 2014. This deadline was posted in an earlier issue of Today in Mississippi. Notices for this year's annual meeting will be mailed the week of May 21. The official notice will include directions for voting online and a proxy for those who will be unable to attend the meeting. Singing River Electric bylaws are available online.
Vote online or mail proxies by June 20th deadline to win up to $500 cash!
