Upcoming Meetings to be Held in Three Districts

OEC is governed by a nine-person board of trustees that is responsible for establishing the overall policies of the cooperative. Each trustee is a coop member who represents one district — the area in which he or she lives — within the co-op's service territory and serves a three-year term. Terms are staggered in such a way that only three trustees are up for election each year.

Meetings are held in the three respective districts for the primary purpose of electing trustees, discussing cooperative business and sharing information about the electric industry. Please note an election will take place only in the event a quorum is met consisting of five (5) percent of the districts’ members in attendance.

The dates and locations for this year's district meetings are as follows:

• Members in district 3 — Slaughterville, Lexington — will gather at Lexington Junior High Auditorium July 15 at 7 p.m.

• Members in district 5 — Norman, Noble — will gather at Noble High School Commons July 16 at 7 p.m.

• Members in district 7 — Tuttle, Bridge Creek — will gather at Tuttle First Assembly of God Life Center July 18 at 7 p.m.

Members in these districts will receive a notice in the coming days and are asked to bring it with them to their respective meeting for registration.
