The 2026 Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 1.
NEC holds an annual meeting to elect our NEC Board of Directors, who oversee the cooperative's operations.
As a member of the cooperative, you have a voice in how the cooperative is run. Our governing body, the Board of Directors, is composed of members who are elected by the membership.
The annual meeting is held at Mid-Carolina High School during the week of spring break each year. All members are encouraged to attend the meeting, vote on those running for Board seats, and have their voices heard.
NEC President and CEO G. Keith Avery makes himself available for an hour-long town hall meeting at 4 pm, giving members a platform to voice their questions or concerns.
SECTION 3.07. Order of Business. The order of business at the annual meeting of the members and, insofar as practicable or desirable, at all other meetings of the members shall be essentially as follows.
1. Report on the number of members present in person in order to determine the existence of a quorum;
2. Reading of the notice of the meeting and proof of the due giving thereof, or of the waiver or waivers of notice of the meeting, as the case may be;
3. Reading of unapproved minutes of previous meetings of the members and the taking of necessary action thereon;
4. Presentation and consideration of reports of officers, trustees and committees;
5. Election of trustees;
6. Unfinished business;
7. New business; and
8. Adjournment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees or the members themselves may from time to time establish a different order of business for the purpose of assuring the earlier consideration of and action upon any item of business the transaction of which is necessary or desirable in advance of any other item of business:
PROVIDED, that no business other than adjournment of the meeting to another time and place may be transacted until and unless the existence of a quorum is first established.
