Cooperative Continues Safety Measures in Response to COVID-19
Markle, IN – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Heartland REMC 2020 Annual Member Meeting has been canceled. The meeting, originally scheduled for June 27, 2020, draws an average of 4,000 people. To keep the members and employees safe and to comply with social distancing guidelines during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Heartland REMC board of directors decided to cancel the in-person meeting.
In accordance with the Heartland REMC by-laws, an election for directors will still take place. To meet this requirement, Heartland REMC has set up voting in the offices. Members can come in, register, and cast their ballot in the election. Each member that registers will receive a $15 bill credit on their July billing. Voting will be available, in the lobbies, during business hours from May 4th to June 25th. The results of the election will be available on our website, www.heartlandremc.com, on June 29th.
Heartland REMC wants to continue to support our local students through our yearly scholarship program. Each year at the annual meeting 20 full-time college students are awarded $500 scholarships. This is a highly anticipated part of our annual meeting and we are proud to support our local student community. This year, we will be doing a Facebook Live event (date and time to be determined) to draw the 20 winners. Make sure to “Like” Heartland REMC on Facebook to watch the drawing! Entry into the scholarship drawing can be done on our website at www.heartlandremc.com/youth-programs. The deadline to enter is June 1st.
As we continue to work through this unprecedented situation, Heartland REMC is doing everything we can to keep our members and employees safe while still providing reliable electricity.
