| Annual Meeting |
|
United Cooperative Services’ Annual Meeting is an evening of customer appreciation and an opportunity to update member/owners about the past year’s business successes and accomplishments. After 69 years in business, the Annual Meeting is also a perfect time for members to gather together and learn more about the co-op.
Members are encouraged to attend for many reasons. First and foremost, the meeting caps off the election process for United’s Board of Directors. Members can vote by mail by sending in the ballot located on the cover of the September issue of Texas Co-op Power or they can vote in person prior to the Annual Meeting. Election results are announced at the end of the Annual Meeting.
Equally important is the Manager’s report given by CEO/General Manager Ray Beavers. The year-in-review is a narrative of United’s 2006 Annual Report, made available in the September 2007 issue of Texas Co-op Power. Copies of the Annual Report will also be available during the Annual Meeting. To download a copy of the 2005 Annual Report, click the link below:

Also, the Annual Meeting is the perfect time for members to ask questions and gather information on the happenings of the co-op. United members can meet their board members and co-op employees all while enjoying the other activities going on during the Annual Meeting.
The 2007 Annual Meeting was held on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2007 at the Glen Rose Auditorium in Glen Rose. In addition to refreshments, United members received an energy conservation kit, a United Cooperative Services ball cap and can pick up free promotional items. Names of registered attendees were be drawn to receive dozens of door prizes and voter’s names will be pooled together for a drawing to receive cash prizes.
During this year’s meeting, booths were set up to help members answer questions or get more information on energy conservation, customer service and key accounts. While at the Annual Meeting, United members learned more about the community programs of the co-op, including energy efficiency, conservation and Rural Friends/ACRE.
United again sponsored the health fair, which offered many new features for members. After members registered for the Annual Meeting at the Main Auditorium and received their goodie bag, they were escorted to the Health Fair by a United employee. Once members registered at the Health Fair, they received a Health Report Card, which is used to indicate individual health checks as members travel from station to station and includes a checklist for nurses and technicians to record levels of lab work, scans and cholesterol levels.
The 2007 Health Fair stations included set-ups for physical therapy, pulmonary function, blood sugar and cholesterol level lab testing, blood pressure checks, bone density screenings, carotid Doppler scans and skin cancer checks. Other stations included a senior care booth, an information booth with material from health groups such as the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Associate and a table featuring give-aways and information about the Glen Rose Medical Center.
