Moreu, Grover, Usry Reappointed to OEC's Board of Trustees

OEC's board of trustees voted to reappoint Percy Moreu, Ronnie Grover and Bob Usry to three-year terms in July following an uncontested election cycle. The three returning trustees — also OEC members — proudly serve their respective districts across OEC's service area.

"[Moreu, Grover and Usry] have diligently represented the members in their districts throughout their service on the board," said Rusty Grissom, board of trustees vice president. "We know they will continue serving in the way our members expect and deserve."

Per OEC's by-laws, trustees serve three-year terms, with a different group eligible for election each year. OEC notified all members in the June Co-op News of the upcoming filing period for a spot on OEC's board representing Districts 2 (Shawnee, Pink and Etowah), 4 (Newcastle) and 8 (Midwest City, Choctaw, NE Norman). Upon the incumbent members being the only to file for election, OEC made the decision to cancel District Meetings in light of the global pandemic. [4911232201]

"While we enjoy seeing our members face-to-face at the District Meetings each year, local officials and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines prevented us from organizing an event," said CEO Patrick Grace. "We are hopeful things will resume as normal in 2021."

OEC's board trustees are tasked with becoming educated, knowledgeable experts in the electric industry. All nine trustees hold certifications and distinctions marking them as professionals in the field, making them qualified to make decisions in their constituents' best interests and ensure the co-op succeeds in its mission while remaining transparent to the members who own it.
