SEIREMC Holding Annual Meeting Virtually

This year, there are five candidates running for three spots on the board of directors.

(Osgood, Ind.) - On Tuesday, March 30, 2021, at 6 p.m. EDT, Southeastern Indiana REMC will hold its 82nd annual meeting, virtually. The meeting will stream live on the cooperative’s Facebook and YouTube channels and the replay will be available for viewing following the conclusion of the live broadcast.

“One of the most important activities that takes place during the annual meeting each year is the election of directors” said Keith Mathews, General Manager. This year there are five candidates running for three open positions on the board of directors from districts 2, 3, and 6.

District 2: Bradley Bentle, Jeffrey Bittner, and Warren Kirk

District 3: David Smith

District 6: Mike Thieman

Voting packets were mailed to all members of the cooperative on March 1. The packet included a ballot, candidate bio sheet, voting instructions, and a return envelope. Members have the option to vote by mail, online, or through the SmartHub app. Voting ends March 26 at 11:59 p.m. EDT and the results will be announced during the virtual annual meeting on March 30.

Other highlights of this year’s meeting include remarks from State Representative Randy Frye, reports on the state of the cooperative from the board officers and General Manager, the announcement of scholarship recipients, and prize drawings.

“While there is no substitute for in-person engagement, meeting virtually is a necessity for us again this year as we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mathews. “I look forward to connecting with you during the REMC’s 82nd annual meeting live stream broadcast on March 30 and hope we are able to meet in-person again next year.”
