Many OCEC members look forward to the ANNUAL MEETING each year in August. This event typically draws around 400-500 members, but with current restrictions imposed on large gatherings by the New Mexico Department of Health, changes to the meeting may be necessary. While we enjoy seeing members each year during this event, our primary concern is the health of members and employees. Over the next few weeks, your Board of Trustees and management will continue to monitor the current COVID-19 pandemic so an informed decision can be made on how to proceed with the meeting. While we hope to see your smiling faces on SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, we will do so only if it is safe for all involved. Stay tuned for an update about YOUR ANNUAL MEETING.
