Annual Meeting FAQs
Bluebonnet’s Annual Meeting is one of the many benefits of being a member of an electric cooperative. The meeting, held each year in May, offers members the opportunity to meet the Board of Directors, the general manager and the co-op’s executive staff. Members who attend the Annual Meeting also elect directors and attend to any Bluebonnet business before the meeting.
All active Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative members are eligible to submit a proxy form. Members can vote in person at the Annual Meeting on May 14, 2024, or designate another member to vote in their place by submitting a proxy form. Proxy forms were due May 7, either postmarked by this date or delivered to a member service center.
During Board elections, co-op members can vote for directors in all districts. The districts in the co-op’s service area were drawn along Bluebonnet’s service area boundary and county lines. The seven districts are represented by one to three directors based on, among other things, the number of meters in each district. There are no contested elections in 2024.
Members may vote for Board candidates by attending the Annual Meeting in person on May 14. There are currently no additional ballot items to be voted on this year.
