Members of Access Energy Cooperative celebrated ”Power On!” as the theme of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Members on August 4th in an unusual format.
In light of the COVID-19 and uncertainty surrounding the ability of large groups to gather, and for the health and safety of the members and employees, the Access Energy Cooperative 2020 Annual Meeting of Members was held as a virtual live broadcast on the Access Energy Cooperative Facebook page on August 4, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.
The only business conducted was the election of directors. Facebook Live was used to share the election results with members. The video has been saved to our page for members that are interested in watching the meeting.
