For decades, the member owners of Escambia River Electric Cooperative have attended the utility’s annual meeting.
There’s also been the business end of the meeting the election of trustees and voting on cooperative business. But the membership meetings have also been a chance for community members from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties to come together with food and entertainment.
But in 2019, the membership meeting was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 annual meeting was held virtually Saturday via streaming video.
In 1937, the first meeting was held to organize Escambia River Electric Cooperative, Inc. at the Oak Grove Community House. By lamplight, several prominent community leaders laid out the blueprints for the formation and operation of EREC.
