CORE offers “the co-op difference”: Local, member-owned and not-for-profit. As owners of our cooperative, you and other members have a say in how we do business.

Our nearly 5,000-square-mile service area is divided into seven geographic districts based on population. Members within each district elect a fellow member to serve a four-year term on the Board of Directors and represent their interests in CORE business and policies. In 2023, the seats for Districts 1, 2, 4 and 6 are up for election.

Voting has started in Districts 1, 2 and 4. This year, for the first time in CORE’s history, electronic voting is available via the SmartHub account management platform and direct emails from the independent election vendor, Survey Ballots and Systems. Mailed ballots will also be sent by March 23 to members in Districts 1, 2 and 4. Completed ballots – electronic or printed – must be received by the independent election vendor no later than 5 p.m. Friday, April 21. Note: District 6 is uncontested; ballots will not be sent to District 6 members.

Members who do not vote electronically or via mail can vote in-person between 9 and 10 a.m. Saturday, April 22, before CORE’s annual meeting at our headquarters, 5496 N. U.S. Highway 85 in Sedalia. Voting by proxy is not permitted in director elections. Ballots will be tabulated and results announced as part of the annual meeting.
