The company was active in achieving their goal of influencing public policy for the benefit of their 950 members in the county. The board of directors generated an opinionnaire to distribute to all their members so they could voice their views on issues that are important to the members. These were distributed via email and U.S. mail. The results were tabulated, and policy was approved by members at their policy development meeting in June. The companys Annual Meeting was held by proxy due to COVID-19, with 79 ballots received by mail.”
