The annual meeting is more than just a business gathering: it’s an opportunity for our cooperative community to unite. It’s a great chance to reconnect with friends, neighbors, and the co-op staff and board of directors. Please keep an eye on your mail, our monthly magazine, social media channels, and this website for updates on the 2026 Annual Meeting of Members.
We look forward to seeing you there!
As a not-for profit electric cooperative, EnerStar is committed to serving its member-owners. A key part of that commitment is the Annual Meeting of Members, a key example of the cooperative difference in action.
Next year’s meeting will be held in June 2027 at Paris Highschool. Check back here for updates! Breakfast will be served from 7:30 - 9:00 am, and the meeting will begin at 9:30 am.
The business meeting lasts about an hour and covers routine bylaws matters, including approving minutes and reviewing financials. We also share co-op updates, recognize achievements, and announce director election results.
Regarding the election process: when more than one candidate runs for a seat, we use our standard mail-in ballot process. All members in the district with a contested election will receive a voting ballot along with their official notice. There are time when candidates run opposed. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, co-op members voted to suspend the mail-in process for uncontested races - saving unnecessary costs. In those cases, unopposed candidates are approved by a simple voice vote at the meeting.
All members that attend the annual meeting will receive a $25 bill credit and entered into a drawing of up to $300 in bill credits.
