News Release

WARSAW — Kosciusko REMC is getting ready for its annual meeting, which will happen in two parts the first full week of June.

The meeting will begin with a virtual broadcast that will premiere on the KREMC YouTube channel at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 6. The broadcast will give members some insight into what the cooperative has accomplished over the past year, as well as a chance to win prizes.

The drive-thru portion of this year’s annual meeting will take place from 3-6 p.m. Thursday, June 8, at the KREMC facility. The event is a chance for members of the cooperative to vote for the board of directors. By actively participating in this decision-making process, members exercise their democratic rights to elect the individuals who will guide the cooperative over the next year.

During the meeting, members will drive through the KREMC property at 370 S. 250E, Warsaw, and cast their ballots without getting out of their car. They will be given a boxed meal, bottle of water, gift and $10 credit toward their electric bill.

Chief executive officer Kurt Carver said the KREMC staff and board of directors is looking forward to the event and expect the afternoon to go smoothly.

“We do ask that our members bring their copy of June’s Indiana Connection magazine with their ballot filled out,” said Carver. “However, we will be prepared to register any members who did not receive an Indiana Connection or who forgot their ballot.”

Drivers should be aware that there may be extra traffic on East Old Road 30, South 250 East and Lake City Highway (US 30) near the KREMC building on the afternoon of June 8. “We have planned carefully to minimize the chance of backups and enlisted the help of police officers to move traffic safely and efficiently,” Carver said.

Kosciusko REMC employees, board members and volunteers organize and staff the annual meeting. Last year’s event set a record for attendance, with 1,342 members driving through and casting their votes in the board election.
