Mark it and mail it
It’s almost time for West Florida Electric Cooperative’s member-owners to elect board representatives for Districts 4, 5 and 6. Each year, WFEC’s members elect trustees in three of the nine districts of the Co-op’s service area in Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson and Washington Counties. Each trustee serving on WFEC’s board is a Co-op member-owner elected by fellow member-owners – a fundamental difference between consumer-owned electric cooperatives and investor-owned utilities.
Look for a WFEC voting packet in your mailbox soon after March 28. In the packet, you’ll find:
A letter from McDaniel and Associates, the certified public accounting firm that will oversee the elections
A nominating committee report
Profiles of the board candidates
An official ballot
A pre-addressed, postage-paid reply envelope
Official notice of WFEC’s Member Appreciation Day/Annual Meeting and a map showing the meeting’s location
Voting by mail in WFEC’s board elections is easy. Simply follow these four steps:
1. Review the material in your voting packet.
2. When you’ve chosen a candidate in each of the three districts listed on the ballot, mark your selections with a black pen or a No. 2 pencil.
3. Place your marked ballot in the return envelope pre-addressed to McDaniel and Associates and mail it in time to be received no later than April 17. Ballots received after the deadline will be declared invalid. Do not deliver your ballot to any WFEC office.
4. Attend WFEC’s Member Appreciation Day/Annual Meeting April 27 at the Baptist College of Florida in Graceville for announcement of the elections results, plus fellowship, food, prize drawings and a ceremony honoring our community’s heroes.
