Once a year, our members do something pretty powerful. It is not flipping a switch, but attending annual meeting. That time is coming up again, and we want you to be a part of it.
I’m excited for my first annual meeting with Central. While I may still be new to this role, I’m no stranger to member meetings. I’ve participated in many throughout my career, and they’ve always served as a powerful reminder of what sets electric cooperatives apart; you, our members.
This year’s meeting will be on Tuesday, October 7, at four convenient drive-thru locations, and we hope to see a great turnout. Annual meeting is an opportunity to connect with the individuals who serve you every day. When you attend, you help shape the future of Central by showing support, asking questions and being a part of the conversation.
A member-favorite, this year’s attendance gift is another 2-gallon bucket featuring both Central’s and Centranet’s logos. If you’ve been around farm country or a local show barn, you know just how handy these buckets can be!
While there are no bylaw amendments to vote on this year, our annual meeting remains one of the most important events for our cooperative. This annual tradition is more than just a meeting; it’s an opportunity for us to connect with you, share information and say thank you for being a part of the cooperative family.
As a member, your involvement matters. Participating in annual meeting helps you stay informed, see how we’re working on your behalf and remain part of the decision-making process that makes Central a strong cooperative.
I hope you’ll join us at one of our drive-thru locations next month. Whether you’re swinging by before chores or after work, your participation means a lot. Central belongs to you, and your voice is vital to keeping it strong.
