Dear Fellow SMECO Members:
This year marks Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative’s (SMECO’s) 70th anniversary. On behalf of the Board of Directors of SMECO, I would like to thank you for your participation and attendance at your 2007 Annual Members’ Meeting.
More than 2,000 of you joined together and attended the meeting to take part in the business affairs of your cooperative and to elect directors from Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s counties. All the incumbent directors were re-elected to another term. They join me in thanking you for your support.
I would also like to thank Mr. Steve Larsen, Chairman of the Maryland Public Service Commission, for his kind remarks regarding SMECO’s accomplishments and business practices, Thomas Stone High School’s Army Junior ROTC for the Presentation of Colors, and Miss Rachel Escolopio for her outstanding rendition of our national anthem. Thanks also to Mr. Ernie Bell for his usual excellent job as Annual Meeting Chairman.
We are proud to be members of your Board of Directors and will continue to work to provide safe, reliable electric power at the lowest possible cost to you, our customer-members. As Mr. Slater, our president and chief executive officer, said at the meeting, “As long as we keep our focus on our customers, we’ll keep going strong for another 70 years.”
Again, thank you for your participation and support.
