This year, you have two ways to plug into your co-op update: Attend the annual business meeting in person or watch the NEW Behind the Lines Update online. Both begin at 10:00 AM on Saturday, September 7. The update video will be available here on our website and on our Facebook page.

Attend in person at Northeastern REMC by joining us in the community room on the west side of our building at 4901 East Park 30 Drive in Columbia City. Doors open at 9:45 a.m.; any in-person voting in the board election will end at 10:15 a.m.

Northeastern REMC’s service area is divided into nine districts, with one Board member serving a three-year term from each district. Although Board members are elected from districts, they represent the NREMC membership as a whole. This is why when members vote annually, they can cast their vote for all districts up for election.

This year, members will elect a director from Districts 2, 3, and 4.

 

District 2:
This district covers a large section of Whitley County including the rural area outside of Columbia City. This district includes Columbia and Union Townships in Whitley County.

District 3:

The Townships included are Cleveland, Washington and Jackson Townships in Whitley County, Chester Township in Wabash County, Jackson, Clear Creek and Warren Townships in Huntington County, and Jackson Township in Kosciusko County.


District 4:
This district includes the rural area outside of Larwill and includes Richland and Etna-Troy Townships in Whitley County.

Members can vote at Northeastern REMC using the tablets provided in the lobby during our business hours. Business hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Any member is eligible to apply to join the board. A nominating committee selected by the board of directors evaluates each candidate through an application and interview process. Once all information has been evaluated, the nominating committee selects candidates.

 

 

Three of the nine board of directors positions are elected annually for new three-year terms. Each term's beginning and end dates are staggered to help maintain a healthy duality of experience and fresh ideas.
