As seen in your Sam Houston Electric Cooperative calendar, the Co-op’s annual meeting of the members is set for Tuesday, June 11.
It will be held in person at the Polk County Commerce Center at 1017 U.S. Highway 59 N. Loop in Livingston, with the entrance at Pedigo Park. Shuttles will be available to take attendees from the parking area to the facility. Registration will begin at noon, and the meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m.
“We are looking forward to seeing our member-owners in person this year,” said Rachel Hawkins, chief communications officer. “The Co-op’s employees are excited to host the annual meeting of members in person again.”
Member-owners present at the meeting will be able to visit with other member, as well as meet the board of directors and Cooperative management. Cooperative member favorite Walter Plant will provide entertainment. A door prize drawing will also be held.
Cooperative managers will report on Co-op business, including the announcement of board election winners. Board election ballots were distributed to the membership in May. Members can vote for their board of directors by mail-in ballot or online. A quorum of 10% is required to elect directors.
“All Sam Houston EC members received a paper ballot and may still mail in their ballot if they prefer, but I encourage everyone not to wait too long,” Hawkins said. “Ballots received by June 4 will be eligible for the grand prize drawing.”
Members can also follow the online voting instructions that accompany the mailed ballot. Electronic (online) and mail-in votes will be eligible for the prize drawings at the meeting. Members do not need to be present for the grand prize drawing to win.
To be officially counted, ballots must be received, either online or by mail, no later than 10 a.m. Monday, June 10.
We’ll see you at the annual meeting!
