Three incumbent Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA) candidates have completed the nomination process and will run unopposed in the co-op’s 2021 elections. The official candidates are as follows:
District 1 – William (Bill) Patterson, incumbent
District 2 – Kyle Martinez, incumbent
District 5 – Leslie (Chris) Hauck, incumbent
Per the cooperative bylaws, in the event only one candidate has been nominated for election in each district, members can elect the candidates “by voice vote […]at the Annual Member Meeting.” As a result, no ballots will be mailed to DMEA members for the 2021 Director Elections. Instead, members attending DMEA’s Annual Meeting will be asked to participate in a vote during the meeting. The DMEA Annual Meeting will be held virtually on Thursday, June 17, 2021, at 3:00 p.m.
“We’re inviting our members to join us from the comfort and safety of their own home again this year. Just like a normal annual meeting, we’ll review the past year’s accomplishments and talk about our goals for the future,” said Virginia Harman, DMEA's acting CEO. “As a bonus, by going virtual again this year, we were able to take our budgeted annual meeting funds and create the Powering Connection business grant program. We are excited to announce the recipients during the meeting.”
Register for DMEA’s Annual Meeting in advance at www.dmea.com. Members who attend DMEA’s 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting will also have the opportunity to win a variety of locally-sourced “door” prizes.
