2021 CFC District Meetings Kick Off in September

The first of five combined CFC District Meetings take place Thursday, September 9. All of the annual business-of-CFC events are taking place in conjunction with the series of NRECA Regional Meetings.

CFC members in seven districts (1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10) will elect candidates to the board of directors. Members at all district meetings will elect the CFC at-large director position, which opens in 2022. In addition, members in six districts (1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 10) will ratify nominating committees tasked with choosing nominees for CFC board seats up for election in 2022.

CFC will host a luncheon for all NRECA Regional Meeting registrants following the district meeting. At the luncheon, CFC CEO Andrew Don will address attendees and offer his views about the current state of the financial and utility industries.

CFC board candidate profiles are now available on the CFC Member Website CFC District Meetings 2021 webpage.

Members Can Vote On Site or By Mail Ballot

In late July, CFC began to mail the official notice of meetings and delegate registration information to its voting members. Members can vote for the proposed 2022 Nominating Committee and director candidates on site during the district meeting or by mail ballot.

Voting members can choose to vote during the meeting by appointing a voting and alternate delegate for the event by completing and signing—including the signature of an officer of your systems—the Delegate Registration Card. Under CFC bylaws, no individual can represent more than one system.

To vote by mail, voting members can complete and sign the mail ballot, place the ballot in the return envelope and mail to CFC. Voting members may vote on behalf of only one system and must use the original ballot provided. Mailed ballots are due to CFC headquarters at least five business days before the meeting.
