Annual & District Meetings

2025 District Meetings for Members

District meetings are held yearly in districts whose directors are up for re-election. District meetings for members of Beltrami Electric Cooperative will be held in June for Districts 1, 5, and 8. The meetings inform members of current issues and programs associated with the cooperative. Official business will be conducted at the district meetings, including the nomination of a director candidate. The top two candidates as determined by popular vote will have their names on the general election ballot in August. Members may only vote on candidates at the district meeting for the district they reside in. The entire membership will vote for a candidate in all three districts once a candidate's name is on the ballot.

NOTE:  Members seeking to run for the Board of Directors shall, not less than five (5) business days prior to the district meeting in which there is a director election, submit to the corporate office a completed candidate packet, as provided by the Cooperative, by which the Cooperative will verify said member's qualifications to be an eligible candidate for the director position, per the Cooperative's Bylaws. The top two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes shall appear on the ballot for the entire membership to vote upon. Each District Meeting begins at 6:00 pm.
