Central Texas Electric Cooperative recently welcomed members to its District 6 Meeting in Cherokee, where cooperative leaders shared updates on member programs, system reliability, infrastructure improvements, financial performance and cooperative operations.
Members received reports from several departments highlighting the cooperative's continued growth, investments in the electric system and efforts to enhance member services. Updates included information on the Levelized Billing Program, SmartHub tools, outage response procedures, vegetation management and ongoing facility improvement projects in Llano and Kingsland.
The cooperative also recognized the impact of its community programs, including the awarding of $150,000 in scholarships to local students and continued support for area nonprofit organizations through Operation Round-Up.
As part of the business meeting, members received an overview of the director election process. With only one qualified candidate filing for the position, District 6 Director candidate Kayla Forehand was elected by acclamation in accordance with the cooperative's bylaws.
CTEC appreciates the members who attended the meeting and participated in the cooperative's democratic process. Member engagement remains an important part of the cooperative's mission to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity while serving the needs of the communities it calls home.
