As a member-owner of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC), you have a vital role in shaping the Cooperative's future. This year, members will elect three directors to serve on REC's Board of Directors.
The 2026 Annual Meeting will be held virtually on Aug. 5 at 7 p.m., allowing members to participate from anywhere. While preregistration is required to vote during the live meeting, a livestream will be available for all members to watch.
In early July, all REC members will receive a Proxy Designation Form by U.S. Mail. If you have a valid email address on file with REC, you will also receive instructions by email on how to access and complete your proxy designation online.
Option 1: Designate Your Proxy Online
If you have a valid email on file with REC, you will receive step-by-step instructions by email. You will be provided with a unique username and password to complete your proxy designation securely online. Beginning July 1, all members can log in or create a profile on MyREC SmartHub to participate in the proxy process.
Option 2: Mail in Your Proxy Designation Form
Your Proxy Designation Form will arrive by U.S. Mail in early July. If you do not plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting on Aug. 5, you can complete and return the form to designate your proxy. Deadline: Completed forms must be received by 5 p.m. on July 31.
