Hardy Telecommunications, Inc., invites all of our members to attend the Annual Meeting of Members on Friday, October 6, 2023, at the East Hardy High School gymnasium. The agenda includes the election of two members to fill seats on the Board of Directors.
Two seats on the Board of Directors have terms that expire this year. Both directors have been nominated to succeed themselves. The directors are Victoria O. Dyer for Lost River Serving Area 3 and Ward A. Malcolm for South Fork Serving Area 1. You can read the full report of the Nominations Committee by clicking HERE.
Doors will open for registration at 4:30 p.m. October 6 with dinner to follow immediately upon registration. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. Meals are free for each member and one guest (up to two free meals per member), with additional meals costing $10 each. Drawings for door prizes will be held.
Hardy Telecommunications members will receive a mailing that includes a reservation card, proxy and, if necessary, ballot for the annual meeting. If you plan to attend, please return the completed reservation card in the provided postage-paid envelope by Thursday, September 28, 2023.
If voting is necessary, it will be through mail-in ballot. Ballots also must be received by Thursday, September 28, 2023, in order to be counted. Late ballots will not be
accepted.
If a member wishes to vote by proxy, please keep in mind that only the official proxy included in your mailing will be accepted. This proxy will include the member’s name, address and account number.
Your proxy must contain both your signature and the signature of a witness to be accepted. Only proxies that are received by Friday, September 22, 2023, will be accepted. No proxies or ballots will be accepted at the meeting, as voting already will have taken place by mail. Results of the voting will be announced at the meeting.
If there is new information or changes regarding the Annual Meeting, these will be posted on our website at hardynet.com and on our Hardy Telecommunications Facebook page. Please visit them regularly for the latest information.
