Cooperative Resilience: 2024 JCREMC Annual Meeting

The JCREMC Annual Meeting was held on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at Franklin Community High School, 2600 Cumberland Drive, Franklin.
This meeting is a time for JCREMC consumers, directors and staff to celebrate the prior year’s accomplishments and look forward to the future. The meeting included breakfast, entertainment, Board of Directors election and the yearly cooperative business meeting.

The 2024 meeting theme, “Cooperative Resilience,” represents our ongoing and unwavering commitment to our members and community. According to JCREMC CEO and JCFiber President, John Sturm, “JCREMC’s main focus over the coming years includes initiatives to expand the use of distributed energy resources. These initiatives are aimed at controlling wholesale power costs while bolstering the resiliency and reliability of your electric service.”
