COOPERATIVE ANNUAL MEETING

Eau Claire Energy Cooperative held its annual member meeting on March 17, 2026 at the Florian Garden's Conference Center in Eau Claire, WI. To view last years meeting minutes, visit your SmartHub account or click on the corresponding year at the bottom of this page. Each year ECEC recognizes its annual Concern for Community Award recipient, scholarship recipients, Youth Ambassadors, and Member Advisory Council members.

This year's theme was "People Behind Your Power." Members heard from a panel of cooperative employees who provided insight on their day to day operations and how they serve the membership.
This year, Districts 1, 5, and 8 were up for election with no opposition. Those districts were elected by acclamation at the annual meeting for another three-year term. If you are interested in learning more or running for a future director seat visit the Director Elections page (link that page) or call the cooperative to speak with the Corporate Secretary.

Attending the annual meeting gives you the chance to meet with your board members along with cooperative staff and leadership to ask questions and receive an update on the cooperative's activities during the past year.
