Bluebonnet’s Annual Meeting is one of the many benefits of being a member of an electric cooperative. The meeting, held each year in May, offers members the opportunity to meet the Board of Directors, the general manager and co-op staff. Members who attend the Annual Meeting also elect directors and attend to any Bluebonnet business before the meeting.

Proxy voting allows members to designate Bluebonnet’s Proxy Committee or another natural person member to vote in his or her place. Proxies are counted to ensure a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

The Proxy Committee is composed of all Bluebonnet Board members whose terms are not currently up for election. This year’s Proxy Committee members are Roderick Emanuel, Robert Mikeska, Byron Balke, Shana Whiteley, Bryan Bracewell and Russell Jurk.

Complete the proxy form and return it by mail or drop it off at any of Bluebonnet’s member service centers in Bastrop, Brenham, Giddings, Lockhart or Manor. If you misplace the proxy form, pick one up at a member service center or call 800-842-7708. Proxies must either be hand-delivered to a member service center by 5 p.m. May 6, 2025, or mailed to:
