Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting is not only a chance to visit with other members of our co-op community – it’s also a great opportunity to learn about programs, get extended information offered by Choptank Electric Cooperative, and get to know your Co-op staff. Our annual meeting makes it possible for us to gather feedback from you by providing a forum where you can let us know how we can better serve you and your family.
We invite our members to attend the 81st Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 25, 2019 which will be held at The Milestone located at 9630 Technology Dr, Easton, MD 21601.
