Join us for the 2022 virtual Annual Meeting of Members June 16 at 11:00 a.m.

The election for the East-Central Iowa REC Board of Directors will get underway May 16, when voting opens, and continue until June 13. This year’s Annual Meeting of the Members will once again be held virtually via Zoom.

In today’s challenging environment, cooperative leaders carry a significant responsibility. Over the past year, we’ve been reminded how incredibly essential our utilities are. ECI REC is blessed to have a Board of Directors that is prepared to not only power through obstacles, but is also excited to find ways to power possibilities.

While we will not yet have the opportunity to gather in person and vote, we’ve extended our voting window this year, and we are offering members three ways to cast their ballots. We hope you’ll join us for our livestream and take part in guiding our Cooperative’s future!

ECI REC also wants to highlight the efforts of our Nominating Committee, who met virtually this year as they worked to make this election possible. Thank you to: District 1, Robert Hanson; District 2, Peggy Bearbower; District 3, Clint Sandburg; District 4, David Inman; District 6, Ernie Henderson; District 8, Randy Merkel; District 9, Gary Maurer; and District 10, Carl Dodge.

The well-being of our members and employees comes first. Thank you for your understanding during these special circumstances, and we hope to see you all at our virtual annual meeting!
