The first of five combined CFC District Meetings takes place Thursday, September 5, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. All of the annual business-of-CFC events take 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 vote for the CFC at-large director position, which opens in 2025. In addition, members in six districts (1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 10) will ratify nominating committees tasked with choosing candidates for board seats up for election in 2025.
CFC will host a luncheon for all NRECA Regional Meeting registrants following the district meeting. At the luncheon, CEO Andrew Don will provide attendees an update on the U.S. economy’s mixed signals and factors driving electric cooperatives’ need for capital.
Board candidate profiles will be available on the CFC Member Website under the Events & Training tab. Look for CFC District Meetings web pages.
CFC will complete mailing the official notices of meeting and delegate registration information to its voting members by the end of August. Members can vote for proposed 2025 Nominating Committees and 2024 director candidates on-site during the District Meetings or by mail ballot.
Voting members can cast ballots in person by appointing a voting and alternate delegate for the event, completing the delegate registration card and having an officer of their system sign it. Under CFC bylaws, no individual can represent more than one system.
Alternately, voting members can complete and sign the mail ballot, place the ballot in the return envelope and mail it 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.
