Plan to Attend This Year’s Annual Meeting

April 2026

Your vote matters, and this year, it’s easier than ever.


Every BEK Communications Cooperative member will automatically receive a ballot by mail and email (if we have your email on file). No request needed. Simply complete your ballot and return it by mail or electronically. If you’d rather vote in person, you can do that at the Annual Meeting as well.


This is your cooperative. Voting is your opportunity to help choose leadership and shape the future of BEK.


We invite you to join us for the 74th Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 11 at a new location: Steele Amvets, 114 1st St. NW, Steele, ND


Please Note the New Schedule This Year!

The meeting will begin at 6pm, with supper served immediately following the meeting.


Even if you’ve already voted, attending in person is a great way to stay informed, connect with fellow members, and hear what’s ahead for BEK.


Can’t make it? You can still watch the meeting live on BEK TV or stream it on BEK TV+ or Facebook.


Cast your vote. Show up. Stay connected. That’s the power of being a BEK member.
