WRVEC Announces 85th Annual Meeting Results
Branson, Missouri – White River Valley Electric Cooperative (WRVEC) hosted its 85th Annual Meeting on Friday, August 23. The meeting was live streamed and included interactive opportunities for members to participate in.
The meeting highlighted general updates from WRVEC. Election results from the eligible board seats were announced. Additionally, there was a live Q&A session where members provided feedback on topics that were important to them that were answered by a live panel. Updates were provided about WRVEC’s fiber to the home project as well as the EPA’s new regulations that will have a significant impact on power production.
“A guiding principle of electric cooperatives world-wide is Democratic Member Control,” said Cassie Cunningham, Vice President & Chief Growth Officer. “Members have a say in how the cooperative is run. We are thankful for our members who took the time to lend their voices to White River Valley Electric Cooperative’s 85th Annual Meeting elections.”
1,965 White River Valley Electric Cooperative members cast their votes online or through mail-in ballots. The winners of the 2024 board election are listed below:
- James “Jim” Burns (District B – Taney County)
- Joey Glenn (District C – Christian County)
