Pedernales Electric is hosting a member forum June 8 at 6 p.m. at PEC’s E. Babe Smith Headquarters Building in Johnson City. The forum will give members a chance to hear proposals and weigh in on proposed changes to the Cooperative’s community giving policies and programs, including the creation of a member advisory group to recommend how PEC’s Board of Directors distributes funds to area nonprofit organizations.

Members also are invited to share their ideas and comments by e-mailing communitygivingproposal@peci.com.

Comments will be accepted through July 1 and presented to Board members for their consideration.

“We truly value our members and our communities,” said PEC General Manager Juan Garza. “The feedback from this forum will help guide a community giving plan that will benefit members and local organizations.”
