Annual Meeting
At San Bernard Electric Cooperative, your voice matters. For more than 85 years, we've been owned and governed by members like you. Your vote in our annual SBEC Board of Directors election is your voice in your cooperative, a chance to weigh in on leaders who will represent you and your community's best interests.
In 2025, SBEC members will vote for districts 2, 4 and 6 Board of Directors at our Annual Meeting held on Saturday, May 17th . See below for more information about the 2025 SBEC Annual Meeting.
The Annual Meeting is one of the many benefits of being a member of San Bernard Electric Cooperative. The meeting, held each year in May, offers members the opportunity to meet the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and the cooperative staff. Members at a traditional Annual Meeting also receive a yearly report and financial standing of the cooperative, elect directors, and attend to any additional business that may come before the membership.
Three of the nine seats on San Bernard Electric’s Board of Directors are up for election every three years. This year, Districts 2, 4, and 6 are up for election in 2025. There is a runoff election in District 2.
During contested Board elections, co-op members can vote for directors in all districts. The districts in the co-op’s service area were drawn along SBEC’s service area boundary and county lines. The nine districts are represented by one director based on, among other things, the number of meters in each district.
