Every year, the cooperative is required to conduct an annual meeting of the membership. The purpose of the meeting is to hold an election of directors, share financial information and provide a cooperative update. Being a cooperative means we’re owned by you, our members.

We look forward to this summer’s annual meeting, where we will celebrate you, our members, with an evening of food, prizes and entertainment!

To keep the children entertained, we will have an inflatable obstacle course, two shows from Silly Safaris, face painting and balloon animals from Funny & Friends, and new this year, a photo booth from Dappy Hays.
Chick-Fil-A and Thornburg Concessions (soft-serve ice cream) will return this year.
Prizes will be given away throughout the evening for adults and children, with the Grand Prize being a 2012 F150 XL.
Director Elections
Each year, RushShelby Energy encourages members to attend the annual meeting and vote for directors of their choice. Members interested in being a board candidate may have his or her name placed on the ballot by completing a petition. The petition must have 15 signatures from other RSE members living anywhere on our service territory. Petitions will be available in our lobby beginning March 5 and must be returned by May 3, 2024.
The board seats for Districts 3, 6, and 9 are up for election in 2024. The current directors are District 3 – Ann Sipes, District 6 – Robert Stroup and District 9 – Jill Koch.
2023 Highlights
As a cooperative, we strive to be a member-focused provider. The Annual Meeting is one way we can do that, and our way of saying thank you. We are here to serve you, a fact we never take for granted. It is our privilege to provide reliable and affordable energy alongside exceptional service to all members. Last year’s entertainment included the bluegrass band Moon Cave Ramblers, and they did not disappoint! Members were able to enjoy a meal from Chick-fil-A and soft-serve ice cream from Thornburg Concessions. Door prizes were given away throughout the evening. The children enjoyed an inflatable obstacle course and Silly Safaris shows and were able to win prizes of their own.
