Socorro Electric Co-op District 5 meeting report

Socorro, NM  October 27, 2012

Report by Carol Jean Auffrey

Anne Dorough was elected district 5 trustee at the district 5 meeting last eve. Many amendments were made to the by laws, some were housekeeping others designed to keep trustees from abusing their power and my personal amendment that the monthly district meeting be rotated among the districts so that members have a better chance to participate in the decisions made regarding their co-op. NOW the proposed changes will go before the annual meeting in April for a vote, we NEED every member-owners support at the annual meeting to get these bylaw changes passed. Please try to keep your calendar clear in April. As soon as I know that a date, place and time has been set I will let everyone know. You can also find information on the website informedcynic.com or on the SEC website.

Thanks to all of you who were at the meeting and those of you who voted by mail.
