Voting remains open until June 27, 2023. Each member will receive personalized instructions on how to submit their vote by mail and email. Results will be announced at the Annual Meeting on June 28. 

Capital Credits 

This year, GVTC is excited to announce yet another record-breaking Capital Credit issuance amounting to $8 million in 2023, an increase from our 2022 Capital Credits amounting to $7.75 million.

The Board of Directors has approved to apply each active member's capital credits to their June bills ahead of the Annual Meeting. In the past, members who did not attend the Annual Meeting received their capital credits after the Annual Meeting.

The GVTC Board of Directors annually reviews the cooperative's financial status to decide if capital credits are feasible and, if so, by how much. The amount released is in large part thanks to initiatives like our Member Dividend Program and the continuous fiber overbuild project in our service area. Our Member Dividend Program has also grown tremendously, with over $15 million returned to members in the form of dividends applied to their bills in the past 12 months. We are so proud to be able to give back to our loyal customers!
