Pioneer Electric Cooperative hosted its 87th Annual Meeting on Oct. 12, bringing co-op leaders and members together for a morning of fellowship and fun. 

The meeting is an opportunity for members to learn about the cooperative’s programs and services, vote in trustee elections, visit with co-op staff and leadership, participate in activities and win door prizes. With nearly 400 people in attendance, this year’s meeting was the co-op’s biggest Annual Meeting ever. 

In the Board of Trustee elections, incumbents Josh Gardner (District 1), Tom Duncan (District 4) and John Henry (District 7) ran unopposed and were re-elected.
