The Consumers Energy Board of Directors will appoint cooperative members to the Nominating Committee and the Election & Credentials Committee at their March board meeting. The Nominating Committee is tasked with selecting individuals to be placed on the ballot as director candidates in the upcoming director elections. The Nominating Committee also serves as the Election & Credentials Committee that oversees the voting and director election process before and during the Annual Meeting.

The Nominating Committee’s initial meeting will be held in May.

The Election & Credentials Committee shall have available to it the advice of legal counsel provided by the cooperative. The committee’s decision on any voting process issue is final, as reflected by a majority vote of the committee members present and voting.
