Official business at the Annual Meeting

Those attending the Drive-Thru Annual Meeting on Sept. 27 will have the opportunity to take an active part in their cooperative by conducting official business. Members will be asked if they approve minutes from the 2023 OEC Annual Meeting (shown below), as well as the 2023 financial statements (see page 8). If a quorum of five (5) percent of OEC’s members attend the meeting, votes will be tallied and reflected in the meeting minutes.

Below is a copy of the items on the ballot. Enlarged versions are available at okcoop.org.

Members may arrive and register at the Lloyd Noble Center parking lot at any point between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27. As you arrive, a friendly OEC employee will give you a ballot, which you will give to a separate OEC employee when you arrive at the registration tent.

Beginning at 7:15 p.m. on OEC’s YouTube page (youtube.com/OklaElec), we hope you will join us for a brief business meeting and the drawing of four $500 grand prizes.

This will conclude this year’s Annual Meeting. We invite you to give us feedback via a survey link, which will be provided in the program you will receive at the event.
