There may also be an opportunity to cast your vote in-person at the Annual Meeting if COVID-19 infection rates within the service territory remain low. While it is our plan to host an in-person Annual Meeting, because of the ongoing pandemic, we cannot guarantee an in-person voting option and therefore, we strongly encourage all members to vote by mail.
