Plan to attend your 87th Annual Meeting.
Southwest Rural Electric invites its members to participate in the cooperative’s 87th Annual Meeting on August 12, 2024 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Western Oklahoma State College in Altus, Oklahoma and Orbison Park in Vernon, Texas. Members can participate in the double drive-thru event from the comfort of their vehicles.
IMPORTANT! WHAT DO I BRING?
Active members will receive a specially-marked envelope around the first of August that will include the official meeting notice, the proposed bylaw revisions, and the 2023 Annual Meeting Minutes. Notices will be mailed to the address we have on file. We encourage you to review the proposed bylaw revisions and previous meeting minutes before attending the drive-thru event to expedite registration and voting.
Please bring the official meeting notice and a proper government ID to register at the meeting. Proper identification will be enforced to ensure bylaw requirements are met. Members that are registering must be an authorized officer on the account (account holder), or the account’s official notice must be signed by the authorizing officer and be properly notarized in the “Designation of Representative” section. Registration and voting will not be available to unauthorized agents.
WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON?
Members will be voting on the proposed bylaw revisions (see the CEO’s letter in the Annual Report) and the 2023 Annual Meeting Minutes.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Co-op employees will be stationed at each location to direct traffic and to help members register and vote. Once a member hands their official meeting notice to an employee, the QR code on the notice will be scanned, allowing the employee to register the member. Then, the registered member will be given an electronic ballot to cast their vote.
GIVEAWAYS AND THE PRIZE DRAWING
Registered members will receive a door prize bag at the drive-thru and a $25 Energy Credit on their next electric bill (limit one bag and credit per registered membership).
All registered members will be entered into the prize drawing for a chance to win 21 additional District Energy Credits, various prizes donated by co-op vendors, and the grand-prize Traeger 34 Pro Series Grill. The virtual prize drawing will be held LIVE on Southwest Rural Electric’s Facebook page on Wednesday, August 14 at 2 p.m. Winning members will be contacted after the prize drawing.
