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!
