Serving you for 82

It’s been 82 great years of being your electric cooperative, where locals are looking out for you and the value of your membership has never been greater. I’d like to personally invite you and your family to our convenient drive-thru annual meeting to register and vote on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., in Fort Mill (2000 Highway 21), or on Saturday, May 6, 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., in York at our main office (1385 E. Alexander Love Hwy). We’re bringing back a crowd favorite and adding a new location so that it’s even easier to exercise your voice as a member-owner of York Electric Cooperative.

2023 Annual Meeting South Carolina Living magazine cover wrapper
Your registration card is on the front cover of your April issue of South Carolina Living Magazine! Flip to the front of the magazine and tear off the bottom portion of the front page. This has all your account information on it and will serve as your registration card for this year’s annual meeting. Bring this along with a valid ID to register and vote at one of our two locations: in Fort Mill on Wednesday, May 3, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., or in York on Saturday, May 6, 7:30 a.m.–2 p.m.

New location

For the first time, we will host a new registration and voting area in Fort Mill on Wednesday, May 3, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at our operations center at 2000 Highway 21, right across from Captain Steve’s. To accommodate this new location for the annual meeting, our Fort Mill branch office will be closed on May 3.

You’ll find a map on the back of the April issue of South Carolina Living magazine and here on our website to help direct you to this location if this is the most convenient option for you to register and vote as a member of YEC. The same smiling faces will be there to help you through the line. Please remember to bring a valid photo ID to register for your $25 power bill credit and vote as a co-op member. Additionally, all persons who register in Fort Mill will be included in all prize drawings during the business meeting, as well as a special drawing for a $500 power bill credit for one lucky member who registers at our new location.

Oldie, but goodie

Hot dog, the hot dogs are back! This year, we will give away hot dogs to members in York on Saturday, May 6 beginning at 9 a.m., while supplies last. We once again appreciate the support of the York Rotary Club, who will help us prepare 8,000 dogs for our members. There will be a designated section for members to pull their cars around after voting and registration to receive their free bag of hot dogs.

Registration, voting and prizes

Each member who attends the annual meeting must bring a valid photo ID to register for their $25 power bill credit and vote at either our Fort Mill location on Wednesday, May 3, or in York at our main office on Saturday, May 6. Members are eligible to attend one of the two registration and voting opportunities. Each membership is eligible for only one vote and registration.

Paul BashaOur team is excited to see you and your family as we celebrate 82 years of service, community and improving quality of life in our area. We’re locals looking out for you!

What is the annual meeting and why should I attend?

The Annual Meeting is a meeting of YEC’s members and a special occasion for members to participate in cooperative business and meet their cooperative leaders and employees. As a democratically controlled, not-for-profit business, our bylaws indicate we host a meeting for members to gather and vote on important matters each year. We’ve adapted the meeting to be safe for all and convenient for you by hosting registration and voting as a drive-thru experience and virtual business meeting. Each member who is present and registers receives a registration gift and will be eligible to win door prizes. Most importantly, members can exercise their cooperative right to vote in the election for seats on the cooperative’s Board of Trustees. During the virtual business meeting that will be streamed on our website and our Facebook page, our President and CEO, attorney, and Board Chairman will update you on important Cooperative business and share election results.
