Member voices needed at the annual JREC meeting

Jump River Electric Cooperative’s (JREC’s) 86th annual meeting of its membership is scheduled for Saturday, April 27. This event will take place at the Ladysmith headquarters warehouse, located along State Hwy. 27.

Additionally, members can actively participate in this meeting from the Hayward outpost. Registration will begin at both locations, at 9:30 a.m., with the business meeting starting at 10 a.m.

In appreciation of member participation, attendees will receive a $25 energy credit and a door prize (one per membership). There will also be an opportunity to win one of five, $100 energy credits or the grand prize of a $500 energy credit, at the end of the meeting.

Members are encouraged to attend, so they can hear firsthand, news about the cooperative. Another meeting highlight will be a presentation by Jeremy Browning, vice president of generation at Dairyland Power Cooperative. A report will also be given by te JREC’s board chairman, offering insights into the cooperative’s activities.

“Active member participation is a key principle of the cooperative,” said GM/CEO Kurt Harris. “Our annual meeting provides a platform for members to stay informed about the cooperative’s progress and for us to hear from you, our members.”

Voting can be exercised through one of three avenues. Members may cast an electronic or absentee mail-in ballot ahead of the annual meeting. For those attending the meeting in-person and who have not yet cast their ballot, they may do so by meeting-day ballot during registration.
