It is nearly time for our 2026 Annual Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, March 17th at Perkins County High School in Grant. Registration will open and a meal will be served by the Perkins County Youth Development Club beginning at 5:30 PM. The business meeting will begin at 6:30 PM.
Early voting will be offered again this year. You may stop in our office during business hours the day of the Annual Meeting to vote in the Director elections and receive your attendance prize. However, to be eligible for the prize drawings at the end of the meeting you will need to be present at the time of the drawing.
Reports will be given concerning the revenues and expenses incurred during 2025 along with the financial status of the cooperative at the end of the year. There will also be updates on major projects going on and plans for the future of Midwest. This year’s guest speaker will be Duane Highley, CEO of Tri-State Generation and Transmission (Midwest’s primary power supplier).
Director elections will be held for the following Districts:
District 3 (Paxton area) – Mark McConnell is the incumbent; Marvin Mueller will also be on the ballot for District 3; other nominees declined to run
District 6 (between Grant and Ogallala) – Shawn Turner is the incumbent; other nominees declined to run
District 8 (Madrid and Elsie area) – Nick Hanson is the incumbent; other nominees declined to run
Finally, we will close the evening with door prize drawings. And there will be a drawing for a $2,000 Grand Prize with someone in attendance guaranteed to win at least $500!
We invite you to join us so we can again thank our members for being part of the governance and success of your cooperative.
We hope to see you there!
