By Staff Report

Kosciusko REMC (KREMC) announced their drive-through annual meeting will take place June 13 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the KREMC facility.
This event serves as a cornerstone of member engagement, offering the cooperative community a unique opportunity to actively participate in the democratic process by voting for the board of directors, according to a news release from KREMC.
As a member-owned cooperative, KREMC champions the democratic principles that underpin its organizational framework and decision-making mechanisms, the release states. Every member is encouraged to exercise their democratic rights by electing the individuals who will lead the cooperative in the coming year.
During the annual meeting, members will drive through the KREMC property at 370 S. CR 250E, Warsaw, and cast their ballots without getting out of their car. They will receive a boxed meal, bottle of water, special gift and $10 credit toward their energy bill.
CEO Kurt Carver said the team at KREMC is ready for the big day and look forward to engaging with the membership.
“We ask that our members bring the ballot that was mailed to their homes with them to the event,” said Carver. “If for some reason a member did not receive or lost their ballot, we can help them register to vote when they drive through the annual meeting.”
Drivers in the community should note there may be extra traffic on East Old 30, South CR 250E and Lake City Highway (U.S. 30) near the KREMC building on the afternoon of June 13.
“We appreciate the assistance of our local law enforcement again this year with helping us safely guide the extra traffic,” Carver said.
The annual meeting is made possible through the efforts of KREMC employees, board members and volunteers. This marks the fourth consecutive year the meeting has been structured as a drive-through event.
