A note from our President and CEO: May the FOURTH be with you! YEC Annual Meeting May 1, 3, 4
It’s been 83 great years of being your electric cooperative, where locals are looking out for you. The value of your membership has never been greater. I’d like to personally invite you and your family to one of our three days of convenient drive-thru annual meetings this year to register and vote. We’ll even have hot dogs again in York! You can count on the same smiling faces to be there to help you through the line.
Our team is excited to see you and your family to celebrate 83 years of service, community and improving quality of life in our area. As for me, this will be a bittersweet annual meeting as it will mark my 34th serving you and my last before my retirement in June. I invite you to tune into our virtual business meeting as we officially introduce Craig Spencer, who will continue to lead our team of locals looking out for you.

Official Notice of York Electric’s Annual Meeting
YEC will celebrate 83 years of service to the members of York Electric Cooperative by hosting their annual meeting of members on Wednesday, May 1 in Tega Cay at Catawba Park located at 2351 New Gray Rock Rd., and on Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4 at YEC’s main office, located at 1385 East Alexander Love Highway in York. Because of a record number of participants, increased efficiency and the results of the meeting preferences question we asked attendees last year, the meeting will be drive-thru only again this year.
Registration and voting for the annual meeting will be open on Wednesday, May 1 in Tega Cay from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., on Friday, May 3 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., and on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. until noon. Each membership must choose one of the three available locations to attend for registration and voting and each membership is eligible for only one registration, vote and entry for prize drawings. We will host a virtual business meeting that will stream online at yorkelectric.net and on our Facebook account. A transcript of the virtual meeting will be available on our website for the hearing impaired.
Action will be taken on the following matters during the meeting:
- The report of officers, trustees and committees.
- The election of trustees.
- All other business which may come before the meeting.
Members are encouraged to attend the annual meeting and MUST bring a valid photo ID and their registration postcard, which is attached to the front of this magazine. All members who wish to be entered into the prize drawing and to vote must be in line by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, 7 p.m. on Friday and by noon on Saturday.
Each member registering will receive a $25 credit on his or her June 2024 electric bill and is limited to one vote and registration. You must be present to vote and receive the registration credit. Registered members will also be entered into drawings for valuable prizes including a 2017 Ford F-150 and two $500 power bill credits. Members who register in Tega Cay will be entered into a separate drawing for a $500 power bill credit in addition to the other door prizes.
Your cooperative’s audited financial report will be available during the week of the annual meeting on our website, at each of YEC’s offices, and by request at the annual meeting.
You will find a map for the voting and registration drive-thru routes for both our Tega Cay and York locations on the back of the April edition of South Carolina Living magazine and on our website. Members will be voting for two uncontested director seats, the vacant seat in District Two and a contested seat for District Three.
We would like to extend a special thank you to York School District One, the York School District One Foundation, and the York Rotary Club for preparing hot dogs for those members who want them on Friday and Saturday in York beginning at 9 a.m. each day, while supplies last. For more details about the annual meeting, please contact our member services team at (803) 684-4248.
I look forward to seeing you and your family as we celebrate another year of serving you!
