The election will not be conducted by ballot and there will be no nominations from the floor when there is only one nominee for each position to be filled. If so, the Secretary will cast one ballot for the nominees at the annual meeting.
Should a ballot be required, members will be notified on March 17, 2023 of all the names that will appear on the ballot. Elections of the new board members will then take place at the Ellsworth and Hermon offices on April 27, and the Bucksport office on April 28. If you have any questions, please call (207) 469-6341.
Sincerely,
Kyle W. Casburn
President and CEO
