The Annu­al Meet­ing is a meet­ing of YEC’s mem­bers and a spe­cial occa­sion for mem­bers to par­tic­i­pate in coop­er­a­tive busi­ness and meet their coop­er­a­tive lead­ers and employ­ees. As a demo­c­ra­t­i­cal­ly con­trolled, not-for-prof­it busi­ness, our bylaws indi­cate we host a meet­ing for mem­bers to gath­er and vote on impor­tant mat­ters each year. We’ve adapt­ed the meet­ing to be safe for all and con­ve­nient for you by host­ing reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing as a dri­ve-thru expe­ri­ence and vir­tu­al busi­ness meet­ing. Each mem­ber who is present and reg­is­ters receives a reg­is­tra­tion gift and will be eli­gi­ble to win door prizes. Most impor­tant­ly, mem­bers can exer­cise their coop­er­a­tive right to vote in the elec­tion for seats on the cooperative’s Board of Trustees. Dur­ing the vir­tu­al busi­ness meet­ing that will be streamed on our web­site and our Face­book page, our Pres­i­dent and CEO, attor­ney, and Board Chair­man will update you on impor­tant Coop­er­a­tive busi­ness and share elec­tion results.

Each mem­ber who attends the annu­al meet­ing and reg­is­ters will receive a $25 pow­er bill cred­it.

Only mem­bers who attend the annu­al meet­ing, pro­vide prop­er iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and their reg­is­tra­tion card are eli­gi­ble to receive a reg­is­tra­tion gift, vote and be entered into the door prize draw­ing. 

YEC has three grand prizes avail­able to win at this year’s annu­al meet­ing. They include a 2014 Ford F‑150 and (2) $500 pow­er bill cred­its. Win­ners will be con­tact­ed on Mon­day fol­low­ing the annu­al meet­ing.

All mem­bers of the coop­er­a­tive are eli­gi­ble to reg­is­ter with a valid pho­to ID and their reg­is­tra­tion card. The reg­is­tra­tion card will be on the front cov­er of your April issue of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing Mag­a­zine.
