The 2020 Annual Meeting of the Members of East-Central Iowa REC is just around the corner!

This year—to align with the recommendations provided by federal, state, and local authorities—a virtual meeting will be conducted, which will still allow us to connect with the membership and conduct the business aspects of the Annual Meeting of the Members, as outlined in the Cooperative’s bylaws.

ECI REC has partnered with Survey and Ballot Systems (SBS) to administer the 2020 Annual Meeting mailing and ballot validation processes. The Annual Meeting Notice and mail-in ballot will be placed into the USPS mail on June 1. In addition to the mail-in ballot, members will have two options to vote electronically. SBS will tabulate all the ballots, both paper and online.

The Zoom link and credentials to access the June 18 virtual Annual Meeting of the Members are listed below. The virtual meeting room will open at 10:30 a.m. the day of the meeting.
