2022 Drive-through Annual Meeting
Three incumbent directors re-elected to Bluebonnet's Board
Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative members breezed through its second drive-through Annual Meeting on Tuesday, May 10, 2022. Under large covered tents in the parking lot of The Silos on 77 in Giddings, members stayed in their vehicles to get information about Bluebonnet. They chatted with the co-op’s Board of Directors, executives and employees and registered to win door prizes.
The Board of Director seats up for election were for District 1, Caldwell, Hays, Guadalupe, Gonzales counties; District 3, Bastrop County and District 5, Burleson County. Because the three incumbent directors were unopposed, they were elected by general consent in accordance with Bluebonnet’s bylaws.
The incumbent for District 1 is Milton Shaw, left, who has served on the Board since 2010. The incumbent for District 3 is Debbi Goertz, center, who joined the Board in 2017. The incumbent for District 5 is Ben Flencher, right, chairman of the Board, who has served on the Board since 1987.
Bluebonnet members who submitted proxy forms were also entered into the drawings for numerous door prizes, including three Cub Cadet ZT1 riding lawnmowers. The names of winners for those prizes was drawn on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 and winners were contacted by Bluebonnet. Prizes were paid for through donations from Bluebonnet vendors.
