Attending Wheatland Electric’s annual meeting is not an obligation; it’s an opportunity to actively engage in the democratic governance of your electric cooperative — and help shape our bright future!
Mark your calendar for APRIL 23 for our 2025 ANNUAL MEETING in Scott City, livestreamed to seven locations: Leoti, Tribune, Syracuse, Garden City, Great Bend, Harper and Caldwell.
From any location, co-op members like you will be able to LEARN, VOICE, CONNECT and WIN amazing door prizes, including our GRAND-PRIZE GIVEAWAY!
LEARN: CHARTING THE COURSE
As a MEMBER-OWNER, your involvement ensures that we continue to steer in the right direction — aligned with your needs, priorities and expectations.
Our co-op was built on SERVICE, INNOVATION AND CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY, and this year’s meeting will highlight how these values guide us forward.
Just as a compass keeps travelers on course, our TRUE NORTH — members like you — guides every decision we make. We’ll share vital updates on our cooperative’s financial health, operational performance, and strategic initiatives that impact you and your community.
We’re committed to powering connections — through energy, programs, partnerships and projects that support our members. Like the stars forming constellations in the night sky, each of these connections plays a crucial role in guiding and shaping our cooperative’s journey forward. Your engagement helps shape that journey ahead.
VOICE: NAVIGATING TOGETHER
Does your voice matter? Absolutely! As a valued member of Wheatland Electric, your input helps guide the direction of our cooperative. At the annual meeting, you can vote for bylaw changes, ask questions, share concerns, and provide feedback directly to our leadership team from any of our eight meeting locations.
When the STARS ALIGN, we move forward together. Our governance is built on DEMOCRATIC MEMBER CONTROL, which means you have a say in how your cooperative is run.
Your participation — whether through in-person discussions or by casting your mail-in vote — ensures that our trustees remain accountable and responsive to the needs of our communities.
Our board members — elected by members like you — live in and care about the same communities you do.
Learn more about our trustee elections and mail-in voting process in our March Kansas Country Living issue, and be sure to attend the April 23 meeting to witness the results firsthand and let your voice be heard on bylaw changes.
Your voice is a guiding light, helping us navigate the future together. When members engage, we gain valuable insights that keep our cooperative strong and responsive — always aligned with the needs of those we serve!
This is our commitment, and this is your cooperative — together, we can reach for the stars!
CONNECT: STRENGTHENING OUR COMMITMENT
This year’s annual meeting is all about the TRUE CONNECTIONS that guide and sustain us, much like the map of a well-charted course.
At its core, your cooperative is about PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. This gathering is a chance to meet fellow co-op members, engage with our leadership team and board of trustees, and connect with local business leaders, government officials, and other community stakeholders who share a common interest in shaping the future of our cooperative.
These connections are like CONSTELLATIONS — each individual and relationship forming a larger picture that guides us toward a brighter future. With rapid changes in the energy industry, we need your input now more than ever.
Together, we innovate, we adapt, and we shape a brighter future!
Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the co-op, we invite you to be part of this shared journey. Every interaction, every conversation, every decision we make together strengthens our collective path forward. This is our COMMITMENT to you — and our strength lies in your engagement!
WIN: CELEBRATING THE SHARED JOURNEY
One of the best reasons to attend? The incredible prizes!
Enjoy a delicious catered lunch at all meeting locations and enter to win fantastic door prizes, from smart tech gifts to a sizable credit on your next electric bill.
Plus, every attending member household will receive a SPECIAL GIFT reflecting this year’s theme — “TRUE NORTH” — as a token of our appreciation.
For this year’s GRAND-PRIZE GIVEAWAY, we’re celebrating what truly guides us— our incredible members, our TRUE NORTH. One lucky winner will take home a Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1, bringing year-round comfort and clarity to their space.
Just as the North Star shines steady in the night sky, our members light the way for everything we do.
SEE YOU ON APRIL 23!
Wherever you choose to attend, we appreciate YOUR COMMITMENT to shaping our future.
Active participation in your cooperative isn’t just about electricity — it’s about building a stronger community. Unlike traditional utility companies, we are member-driven, motivated by service rather than profit. Your presence at the annual meeting is an investment in the future of our cooperative and the communities we serve.
By joining us on April 23, you’ll have the opportunity to LEARN, VOICE, CONNECT, WIN and be part of something bigger — a cooperative powered by shared values, innovative solutions, and a steadfast commitment to members like you.
Just like the NORTH STAR that guides explorers through uncertain terrain — our commitment to you is unwavering.
Let’s chart our course forward, together! Hope to see you on April 23!
