Mark your calendar for the Sam Houston Electric Cooperative Annual Meeting of Members, which will be held Tuesday, June 13.
For the first time since 2019, the meeting will take place in person at the Polk County Commerce Center in Livingston. The facility is located at 1017 U.S. Highway 59 N. Loop, with an entrance at Joe Pedigo City Park. Shuttles will be available to take attendees from the parking area to the facility. Doors will open at noon for registration, 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.”
Members who attend the meeting will be able to visit with other member-owners, as well as meet the board of directors and members of the Cooperative’s management team. Walter Plant will provide musical entertainment, and a door prize drawing will 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 the board of directors by mail-in ballot or online. A quorum of 10% is required to elect directors.
Sam Houston EC members received a paper ballot and may return their ballot by mail if they prefer. Members can also follow the online voting instructions that accompanied the mailed ballot. Electronic (online) and mail-in voters will be eligible for prize drawings at the meeting. To be officially counted, ballots must be received, either online or by mail, no later than 10 a.m. June 12.
We’ll see you at the annual meeting!
