70th Anniversary Annual Meeting

The 70th Alliance Communications Annual Meeting for cooperative customers will be held on Thursday, May 28, 2026. Cooperatives like Alliance typically have a business meeting for customer-owners once a year. This year, Alliance will discuss issues impacting your cooperative and electing directors to the board.

We’ll have satellite locations at the Alcester Golf Club and the Howard Golf Course. The primary location will be at the Brandon Valley High School.

See the meeting details below for the full schedule.

Meals, snacks, beverages, and giveaways will be available while they last. Since our software only allows you to register one time for the meeting, pick the location that’s the most convenient for you.
