Your cooperative. Your meeting.

Each year, NWEC holds an Annual Meeting of the Members to conduct our business meeting, keep members informed, and bring forward items that need member approval or a vote.

Because cooperatives are governed by democratic member control, every member has a say in how their co-op is run.
