On Saturday, March 27, 2021, at 1:00 p.m., the Butler County REC board of directors met at the REC headquarters in Allison to conduct the annual meeting.

With health and safety in mind due to COVID-19, the board of directors had made the decision to conduct the 2021 annual meeting of members by mail-in ballot only. The cooperative attorney and appointed tellers were present prior to the meeting to count the ballots for the director election.

At the meeting, action was taken on the following matters:

  1. The reports of officers, directors and committees;
  2. The election of three directors for term of three years

Over 530 ballots were returned, re-electing to serve three-year terms Duane Rieckenberg, Ionia; Troy Feldman, Greene; and Share Brandt, Allison.

Your board of director officers are:

  • Duane Rieckenberg, president
  • Gary Poppe, vice president
  • Tim Schrage, secretary
  • Leland Boyd, treasurer
  • Share Brandt, asst. secretary-treasurer

Thank you to those members returning ballots. We appreciate your participation!
