The 28th Annual Meeting of the Members of East-Central Iowa REC was held virtually via Zoom on June 28! Members can view the recording of the meeting. 

One primary piece of the Annual Meeting is the Board election. Jeff Elliott (District 1) and Steve Rau (District 9) were re-elected to serve three-year terms on the Board of Directors. This year, members could vote by mail-in ballot, online through our website and SmartHub, or by using the voting link included in the Annual Meeting notice mailed out to membership. 

Following the meeting, a Board reorganization meeting was held. Re-elected to office were Steve Rau, president; Jeff Elliott, vice president; Ryan Kress, secretary/treasurer; and Julie Kester, assistant secretary/treasurer.

This year’s theme—Resilient Roots, Sustained Commitment—couldn’t be truer. The core purpose and mission of East-Central Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative is to provide our members with safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly electricity. We rely on our resilience and the commitment of our team to fulfill this goal, no matter what challenges arise. Above all, we are dedicated to putting our membership first, and we remain motivated to serve our communities.
