MAC Meetings
MAC meetings are typically held the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. Due to the significant increase in COVID cases throughout the state and in our local communities, GVEA has implemented additional COVID protocols in an effort to protect members and employees and ensure our ability to meet our responsibilities to our members.
Effective immediately, vaccinated individuals may attend meetings in-person and must wear masks at all times, except when speaking. Unvaccinated individuals will be required to attend meetings virtually via Microsoft Teams or by phone.
This requirement is consistent with current COVID protocols established by the Board of Directors for Board Meetings. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact us at pr@gvea.com.

Get Involved! Join the Member Advisory Committee!
By serving on the Member Advisory Committee, you’ll learn:
- Why electricity is so expensive in Interior Alaska.
- Where our power comes from.
- What “cooperative” means.
- What goes into coordinating GVEA’s Annual Members’ Meeting.
If these topics interest you, then you should consider joining GVEA’s Member Advisory Committee (MAC). Serving on the MAC is a great way to get involved, find out more about your co-op and provide valuable feedback.
Here’s a brief video, with testimonials from MAC members: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT-lhJLPdmU
The MAC is made up of three members from each of GVEA’s seven geographic districts, and they:
- Serve three-year terms (beginning in September)
- Meet monthly (typically on the second Wednesday of each month), with each meeting lasting about 90 minutes
- Receive $60 per meeting, plus standard mileage rates for roundtrip travel
MAC members are also asked to serve on various committees (e.g. district nominating, annual meeting, bylaw review and election).
All GVEA members (except employees) are eligible to serve.
Note: Applications will be available and accepted from May through July each year.
