2025 Annual Meeting Information

LYREC will be holding it's 89th annual meeting at the Richland County Event Center (new addition) on June 4. Members are welcome to attend either in person or virtually. Join us  at 4:30 p.m. for dinner and registration. Jerry and Judy Foss will be grilling brats and serving a picnic-type dinner this year.  The business meeting will follow at 5:30 p.m.

Every member account that attends the entire business meeting, whether in-person or virtually, will receive a $50 bill credit. Information on how to join virtually will be shared in May on LYREC's website and social media pages.  

The official annual meeting notice, financials, proposed bylaw amendments, ballots, and other important information will be mailed on May 9th.  Members will have the option to vote for the bylaws amendments either by mail or electronically through LYREC's website.  If you have questions regarding the proposed bylaw amendments, please email lyrecmeeting@lyrec.coop or call our office at 406-488-1602. 

LYREC will award up to 30 scholarships, each worth $1,000, during the business meeting. Applicants are encouraged to attend the meeting. There will also be multiple chances to win tickets to the Medora Musical, along with a shot at the grand prize.  

Bring the whole family! There will be fun activities to keep the kids entertained during the business meeting, a chance to win a bike, and weather-permitting, bucket truck rides before the meeting.

Tim Franzen was nominated to represent District 3 and Dennis Schmierer was nominated to represent District 4.  With no other nominations, the election of trustees will be by acclamation. 

We are excited to welcome Brent Battenfeld, a journeyman lineworker from Mid-Yellowstone Electric Cooperative, along with Ryan Hall, MECA's editor and communications director. They will share their powerful story of helping bring electricity to the remote village of Cocalitos, Guatemala, through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's International Program earlier this year.
