Attend JCREMC’s 2021 Annual Meeting from Home

JCREMC’s virtual 2021 Annual Meeting on April 17 comes with a silver lining: it will allow our members to attend from home. Although the cooperative’s Board of Directors and Leadership Team made the decision to go virtual due to the ongoing pandemic, our members who may have found it difficult to attend past meetings in person will now be able to attend online or over the phone.

“We always strive to meet our members where they are, and this year we’re making that a reality as our annual meeting will be live-streamed into their homes,” says CEO John Sturm. “Our virtual Annual Meeting was the best way to conduct important cooperative business while keeping everyone well, and it has the added benefit of convenience for members who found it difficult to attend past meetings.”

Prior to the virtual Annual Meeting, the 2021 Board of Directors Election and other business will be conducted via ballots mailed to all members on February 25. Members who mail their ballots by the April 1 deadline will be entered to win one of 100 cash prizes and bill credits. Please watch your mail for the Annual Meeting materials and return your ballot promptly.

Inside the clearly marked envelope, you will find Board of Directors candidates’ bios, a financial report, minutes of the 2019 meeting, your ballot, and a postage-paid return envelope. The ballot will ask you to approve the minutes and financial report and then vote in the election. After making your selections, simply return it by U.S. Mail.

To ensure a fair election, JCREMC has engaged an outside vendor to distribute and tabulate the ballots. Because of this, all ballots must be returned by U.S. Mail and cannot be accepted late or at the JCREMC office.

The virtual Annual Meeting at 10:30 a.m. on April 17 will feature the election results, updates on JCREMC business, prize drawings, and announcement of scholarship winners. Attending is easy. If you register in advance at www.JCREMC.com/2021AnnualMeeting, you will receive a phone call right as the meeting starts, and you can participate through that phone call and/ or on the Annual Meeting Web page, www.JCREMC. com/2021AnnualMeeting, where the meeting will be livestreamed. You can also view the live stream on JCREMC’s Facebook page or join in by calling 833-998-1729 toll-free. With so many options, we look forward to your attendance.
