Policy to Attend and Present Information at a Board Meeting

POLICY 507 – ATTENDANCE BY MEMBERS/OTHERS AT MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Election Information

CFEMC and the Board of Directors believe the foundation of any successful cooperative is member trust and transparency. That’s why for over 10-years, CFEMC has contracted with Survey & Ballot Systems’ (SBS) to manage our election process, so our members can count on an accurate and certified election result. This service allows our members the option to vote by mail, online or in-person. Each year, members receive an annual meeting registration packet mailed to their homes in advance of the annual meeting. Inside each member will find a copy of the meeting notice, candidate information, procedures on voting, and a copy of the EMC annual report. We believe it is every member’s responsibility to exercise their right to vote for their representation.
