More than 1,600 members came to Broad River Electric Cooperative over a three-day period to register for the co-op’s Annual Meeting of Members last month. All 1,602 registering members received a hard-shell cooler, re-elected three trustees to the Broad River Electric Board and provided input on the member gift they’d like next year.
Incumbents Bill Peeler of Cherokee County, DeCole Gallman of Union County and Eric West of Spartanburg retained their seats on the board. By a 56 percent majority, members also said they preferred to continue receiving a gift at next year’s registration rather than a $25 bill credit.
The business meeting and prize drawings were broadcast on the co-op’s Facebook page on April 11 and can be viewed on our website.
