YEC’s Annual Meeting

There are sev­er­al pur­pos­es of the annu­al meet­ing, the most impor­tant being your right, as a mem­ber-own­er, to make your voice heard and exer­cise your right to vote. The meet­ing is a time to approve the min­utes of the last annu­al meet­ing, review the finan­cial report for the past fis­cal year, and vote on board mem­bers and bylaws.

York Elec­tric’s 83rd Annu­al Meet­ing took place over three days – May 1, 3, and 4, 2024 – with the busi­ness por­tion of the meet­ing tak­ing place on May 4th. Infor­ma­tion was dis­trib­uted by email and the April edi­tion of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine to get mem­bers pre­pared to attend, reg­is­ter, and vote. Thank you to all who par­tic­i­pat­ed!
