We are pleased to remind you that this coming April – May 2025, we will be celebrating the 55th Annual General Membership Assembly (AGMA) alongside the 56th Anniversary of our Electric Cooperative’s establishment.
This year’s AGMA will be conducted through Hybrid Sequential AGMA District Meetings, culminating in a Franchise-Wide Hybrid Assembly.
What is a “Hybrid” Meeting?
A Hybrid AGMA combines both physical and virtual participation through Zoom Modality. To accommodate MCOs facing technological challenges, designated Viewing Centers will be available in each district, where the virtual assembly will be projected live. Despite attending via a Viewing Center, members can still engage in the discussions, send live messages and video comments, participate in deliberations on resolutions, and be part of the plenary sessions.
Important Reminder:
Proxy attendance will NOT be allowed.
2. You are strongly encouraged to join virtually and participate physically — only in the district where you are affiliated and the address indicated in your membership profile is located.
3. You are strongly discouraged from joining both virtually and in person multiple times. Registering for multiple Zoom meetings or attending different viewing centers on separate days is strictly prohibited.
4. Zoom links for the virtual assembly will be sent via SMS upon registration and verification.

The opening General Session featured an insightful keynote address by NRECA CEO Jim Matheson, who set the tone for the event by reflecting on the enduring impact of rural electrification initiatives. He emphasized the importance of forward-thinking leadership, strategic energy planning, and the collaborative efforts required to navigate the increasing global demand for reliable and sustainable energy.
Adding an entrepreneurial perspective to the session, Daymond John, business mogul and star of ABC’s Shark Tank, captivated the audience with an inspiring keynote on adaptability, innovation, and resilience in an era of rapid technological transformation. His message resonated strongly with cooperative leaders, reinforcing the need for continuous evolution in the energy sector.
