When Central Florida Electric Cooperative holds its annual meeting, it’s nothing like the stuffy affairs held by some corporations, or even the ones that feature a proxy fight.
The members who own the co-op greet each other as if they are at a family reunion.
Whole families come, even bringing babies that are just weeks old.
It’s a democratic affair as customers question the management then stick around for a raffle that features cash prizes, gift cards and merchandise.
