All Members are Welcome at the 84th Annual Meeting! 

Members are invited to join Choptank Electric Cooperative for our 84th Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 28, 2022, at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, located at 500 Glen Ave., Salisbury, MD 21804. Currently, we are planning a live meeting, but depending on COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines in effect at the time of the meeting, the Annual Meeting may be conducted virtually. Choptank Electric Cooperative will keep members informed via social media and email as additional plans are made.

The business portion of the 2022 Annual Meeting will begin at 6 pm. If we are able to hold the event in-person, registration and meal service will begin at 4:30 pm.

As the Cooperative learns more, we may require members interested in attending the meeting to RSVP in advance. If you would like Annual Meeting updates and do not follow us on social media or are not subscribed to our e-news, please call our Member Service Center to express your interest. You can RSVP a variety of ways:

Have your name, account number, guest’s names and number of guests ready when you contact us so that we can ensure you are registered appropriately. RSVP no later
than Thursday, April 14, 2022.

Three Board members will be standing for re-election during the 2022 Annual Meeting.

  • Amy Brandt, Caroline County representative
  • Matthew Holloway, Wicomico County representative
  • Donna West, Worcester County representative

Further information about each Director candidate is posted at Choptank Electric headquarters in Denton and is available at www.choptankelectric.coop. Their petitions
have been approved by the Credentials and Elections Committee. Because there is only one approved Director candidate for each district, the Committee has invoked
Bylaws section 4.06(b). This section states that in the event of an uncontested election, Choptank Electric may forgo the balloting process. This saves the Cooperative and its members thousands of dollars in printing and mailing the ballots, along with the costs of other voting services.

The business meeting will begin with President and CEO Mike Malandro reporting on Co-op business during 2021. At the meeting’s conclusion, the Luck of the Draw
scholarships and door prizes will be awarded. The door prizes this year will be a variety of bill credits ranging from $100 - $500. 

There will be ten $1,000 Luck of the Draw scholarships awarded at the end of the Annual Meeting. For details about this scholarship, qualifications, and applications, please flip to the next page and/or visit our website. Under member benefits, click on scholarships.
