Annual Meeting recap

York Elec­tric’s 2024 Annu­al Meet­ing took place on Wednes­day, May 1, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., Fri­day, May 3, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Sat­ur­day, May 4, 9 a.m. until noon. Our vir­tu­al busi­ness meet­ing fol­lowed Saturday’s por­tion of the annu­al meet­ing and our co-op lead­er­ship shared the offi­cial elec­tion results and announced this year’s grand prize and door prize win­ners.

As your co-op, we appre­ci­ate the oppor­tu­ni­ty that every annu­al meet­ing provides—our reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing process offers mem­bers a con­ve­nient way to express the val­ue of their mem­ber­ship. We were thrilled that more mem­bers attend­ed our 2024 Annu­al Meet­ing than ever before, out­pac­ing last year’s pre­vi­ous record. Thank you for join­ing us in cel­e­brat­ing our 83rd year of serv­ing you. Check out some of our favorite moments!

For the sec­ond year, we offered a Fort Mill dri­ve-thru option, locat­ed at Cataw­ba Park, to accom­mo­date our grow­ing mem­ber­ship. We were pleased with the results: 1,363 mem­bers attend­ed on Wednes­day, May 1 to cast their votes for our Board of Direc­tors elec­tions. Above all else, we want to ensure that our annu­al meet­ing remains con­ve­nient and acces­si­ble to you. We will con­tin­ue to offer a sec­ond annu­al meet­ing loca­tion for our Fort Mill and Lan­cast­er mem­bers.

Dur­ing our three-day dri­ve-thru event, we reg­is­tered 5,354 mem­bers, who vot­ed on two uncon­test­ed board seats and two con­test­ed board seats. The results, com­piled by York Coun­ty Vot­er Reg­is­tra­tion and Elec­tions, are as fol­lows:
