A total of 2,244 members mailed in ballots to be officially considered participants in the 2021 Annual Meeting.
The Annual Meeting was held remotely by phone due to COVID-19 concerns. Fifty-one members joined the Annual Meeting by phone. There were no challengers for the open board seats. The following incumbents were re-elected to three-year terms on the Albemarle EMC Board of Directors: Glenn Carey, representing Camden County; John Spence, Pasquotank County; and Virgie Whitehurst, All Counties.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank all of the members who took the time to send in their ballots to be counted towards the quorum,” said Albemarle EMC Board of Directors President John Spence. “I would also like to thank the members who called in to listen to the Annual Meeting.”
To assist members, a special web page was created (aemc.coop/content/2021-annual-meeting-information). The web page includes addresses to the membership from General Manager Gary Ray and President John Spence. A recording of the meeting is also available on the web page.
