Annual & District Meetings

-A A +A

ANNUAL & DISTRICT MEETINGS

Each year, Beltrami Electric Cooperative hosts district meetings and an annual meeting for the cooperative membership.  It is an opportunity for members to take part in the business meeting and connect with cooperative employees, directors and fellow members. 

2022 District Meetings for Members

District meetings are held each year in districts whose directors are up for re-election. District meetings for members of Beltrami Electric Cooperative will be held in June for Districts 1, 5, and 8. The meetings inform members on current issues and programs associated with the cooperative. Official business will be conducted at the district meetings, to include the nomination of a director candidate. The top two candidates as determined by popular vote will have their names on the general election ballot in August. 

NOTE:  Members seeking to run for the Board of Directors shall, not less than five (5) business days prior to the district meeting in which there is a director election, submit to the corporate office a completed candidate packet, as provided by the Cooperative, by which the Cooperative will verify said member's qualifications to be an eligible candidate for the director position, per the Cooperative's Bylaws. The top two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes shall appear on the ballot for the entire membership to vote upon. Each District Meeting begins at 6:00 pm.

What Does It Mean to Be a Director?

If you are interested in seeking a directorship position with Beltrami Electric Cooperative and desire more information, please contact President and CEO Jared Echternach at 218-444-2540 and request a director candidate packet.
