Bluebonnet’s Annual Meeting gives members a chance to meet Bluebonnet employees, to vote for Board members and to get an update on the state of the co-op. Entertainment includes a live band, a photo booth, information tables, kolaches and door prizes.
Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative’s Annual Meeting will be May 14, 2019, at The Silos, formerly the Sons of Hermann Hall, in Giddings. Four of 11 seats on the Board of Directors will be up for election that day, and co-op officials will present members with the annual report on the state of the cooperative.
Board members serve staggered three-year terms. Seats up for election this year represent District 1 for Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales and Hays counties; District 3 for Bastrop County; District 5 for Burleson County; and District 7 for Washington County.
The deadline to declare candidacy and file required documentation and fees in order to seek a seat on the Board was Feb. 13. Look for information about all candidates and more details about this year’s Annual Meeting in Bluebonnet’s pages of the April edition of Texas Co-op Power magazine or on our website.
