Annual Meeting

Tipmont’s Annual Meeting gives members like you the opportunity to vote for the directors who serve you. All Tipmont memberships are welcome to attend.

Annual Meeting

2024 Recap

Tipmont welcomed more than 1,200 cooperative members to its 84th Annual Member meeting on Saturday, Sept. 21 – both from our in-person location at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds, as well as drive-thru locations at the fairgrounds and at Tipmont offices in Linden and Battle Ground.

This allowed more members to vote in this year’s elections for Tipmont’s Board of Directors and engage in the way they preferred. All members attending received a 2023 Tipmont Annual Report, as well as popcorn from Richelle in a Handbasket, Tipmont pens and other gifts.
