At PenLight, Your Vote Matters
Because PenLight is an electric cooperative, member-owned and operated, the democratic processes allows members to vote in the annual cooperative board election.* As a cooperative, we encourage members to voice their thoughts and ideas. You have the opportunity to attend the annual meeting when the board of directors and 3 open seats will be announced. Members maintain equal status and work together for the good of the community and adhere to these 7 guiding principles:
- Voluntary and Open Membership
- Democratic Member Control
- Members’ Economic Participation
- Autonomy and Independence
- Education, Training, and Information
- Cooperation Among Cooperatives
- Concern For Community
Those who are elected to the board of directors are fellow members who represent you in how your electric utility is operated. Ballots will be mailed to PenLight members at the end of March and should be returned in the provided postage-paid return envelopes by the listed deadline. 30476
*The Board of Directors election voting period is from March 25 to April 29.
The annual meeting is on Monday, May 6, at 5:30 p.m.
Election results will be announced and the annual treasurer’s report will be presented, followed by a Q&A session. If you have any questions, call Britni at (253) 857-1567.
