New this year, members can also simply listen or watch by live stream available on the cooperative’s social media channels. However, to vote on motions or ask questions during the Q&A period, members must use the phone option and enter their account number.
Members who have not already voted in director elections by mail or online by the deadline of June 16th may also come to the corporate office during the annual meeting to vote in a designated area that is also arranged for COVID-19 safety compliance.
During the annual meeting, business reports will be delivered from key board and staff members. These reports, as well as director election results, will also be shared online on the cooperative’s website and social media.
Members received annual meeting and director election information in their May issue of Carolina Country which contains the member newsletter, Membership Matters. The June issue provided full details of how to participate in this year’s annual meeting as well as the 2020 annual report. A director election kit was sent to each member in May.
