We hope you’ll join us for the 2023 Annual Meeting and Member Celebration, which will take place at Glad Tidings Church in Morehead City on May 4. Members will enjoy a delicious meal, hear performances by the Broad Creek Middle School Band and Croatan High School Chorus, learn more about the cooperative, and have the chance to win cash, free electricity, and a retired co-op truck!
Your Voice
CCEC conducts its Annual Meeting of the Membership each year "for the purposes of electing directors, hearing and passing upon reports covering the previous fiscal year, and transacting such other business as may properly come before the meeting."
The cooperative is not owned by far away shareholders, and it is not run by an appointed board of directors. We are run by a democratically elected board of directors – a board elected by you and given the privilege to serve because of your votes. Three candidates are up for re-election each year. If there are contested races, elections are conducted by mail, with the results announced at the annual meeting. If directors run unopposed, we do not send out ballots for those director seats.
Beyond the election, the annual meeting also is the opportunity for members to learn about programs offered by CCEC and get the chance to get to know the co-op staff and directors. On the flip side, our annual meeting makes it possible for us to gather feedback from you on how we can better serve you and your family.
A favorite part of our meeting is our prize giveaway. Traditionally, we give away several $75 cash prizes, up to $1,000 in free electricity for six months, and a vehicle retired from the co-op's fleet.

For the safety of our members and employees, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 2022 Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative (CCEC) annual meeting was held virtually on Thursday, May 5 at 7 p.m.
Members who return the postcard included with the April edition of Carolina Country magazine were registered for giveaways, including several $75 cash prizes, up to $1,000 in free electricity or a pickup truck retired from our fleet. Winners were announced at the end of the meeting. A complete list of winners is available here.
