Round Up

OEC Foundation bids farewell to two longtime members

R

egretfully, the OEC Foundation board said farewell in June to two longtime directors. Lynne Miller from district 8 resigned in March in order to dedicate her time to her role as mayor of Norman.

Sunny Stuart of district 2 resigned in May to spend more time with his family and church. They gave 12 and 13 years, respectively, to the Operation Round Up® (ORU) cause.

Their commitment to service will be missed. [2734312814]

District 8 is now represented

by Carla Kimberling, a retired educator. Stuart’s replacement will be confirmed at the July 26 OEC board of directors meeting. The new director will be announced in next month’s issue of the Co-op News.

Barnes, Wilson retire from OEC board after serving a combined 77 years

L

ongtime OEC board trustees Verle Barnes and Frank Wilson retired from their board duties after 39 and 38 years, respectively.

Their decades of service to their fellow members proved they were trusted members of their communities and could be counted on to act with their districts’ best

interests in mind.

OEC’s board and employees — past and present — thank Mr. Barnes and Mr. Wilson for their years of service to OEC and its members.

Due to their retirements, two new board members will be announced in next month’s Co-op News.

M

embers are currently taking part in two pilot programs: The Generator Load Control (GLC) Program and the Co-op Home Energy Efficiency (CHEE) Program. The two programs are independent of one another, and the registration periods for both are closed.

The final generator was installed July 6 for the 30 members randomly selected to take part in the GLC program.

Announced in March, the pilot program seeks to reduce OEC’s demand — and eventually our power cost — during the hottest parts of the summer.

Members who are interested in potentially partnering with OEC for a future GLC program may submit their information at www.okcoop.org/generators.

Energy audits are currently underway for the CHEE program. This pilot program pairs homeowners with energy efficiency experts to examine potential areas of efficiency improvements to reduce energy consumption and costs.

Seventy-six members are taking part in this program, which will help shape a future efficiency program for all co-op members. OEC is partnering with Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC, our wholesale power supplier) to offer this program.

79th ANNUAL MEETING &

Member Appreciation Night FRIDAY, AUG. 12 ••• 4:30 - 7 P.M. LLOYD NOBLE CENTER, NORMAN, OK

We here at OEC are gearing up for the 79th Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night on Aug. 12 and are excited to share it with you and your family.

This year’s Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night is set to be a first of its kind, as we are taking it up a notch in more areas than one.

featuring

First, we’ve expanded the menu to include more than the traditional barbecue you may be used to at past meetings. This year, you and your family will have the option to try a hamburger or cheeseburger, hot dog, pulled pork sandwich or a made-inOklahoma jalapeño cheese sausage dog.

Opening the evening’s entertainment will be the Studio of Sooner Theatre children’s choir, followed by Neecha’s Amazing Dobermans. Then, prepare to be amazed by the vocal abilities of the headlining act, Home Free. Rising in popularity due to its unique style of music, the acapella group needs no instrument other than its voices. Home Free won season four of NBC’s The Sing-Off in 2015.

Members in attendance will not only receive a $20 credit on their primary electric account, they will also have the opportunity to select a free hat from an array of options (see page 8), including a visor and several men’s and ladies’ styles. Plus, scores of door prizes will be given away after the business meeting, with the $1,000 grand prize drawing closing out the evening. Members must be present to win.

The Quiet Zone, Kids’ Zone and Information Expo will be open from 4:30 to 7 p.m. and offer something different and exciting for everyone.

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • August 2016

The Quiet Zone is an area where those who find the volume in the arena to be too loud can go and still enjoy the entertainment, business meeting and prize drawings.

Seating is limited and is available on a first come, first serve basis. Restrooms, concessions and a hat booth are located nearby.

6

The Kids’ Zone is located on the arena floor behind the main stage. Kids will enjoy balloon animals, face painting, games, a photo booth and more in the Kids’ Zone, sponsored by Meyer Brothers Construction.

The Information Expo offers energy efficiency solutions and answers to your questions about generators, renewable energy and more. Learn about OEC’s upcoming solar projects, pilot programs, youth programs, PrePaid and more at the Information Expo, located on the south end of the upper concourse.

Visit www.okcoop.org/AnnualMeeting to reserve your tickets in advance. Each member is offered up to four complimentary tickets; More are available for purchase at the event. All tickets will be given at registration on Aug. 12.

While this year’s Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night is sure to look and feel different, we hope you’ll join us so we can show you how much we appreciate your business and support.

WHY NO BARBECUE MEAL?

Those who have attended prior Annual Meetings remember the traditional barbecue meal served, with seating located on the floor. Due to the inability to use the south ramp and therefore the floor for seating, the concession areas on the upper concourse will be utilized and the food may be taken to the seats in the arena. We expanded the menu to include hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, a made-in-Oklahoma jalapeño cheese sausage dog and a pulled pork sandwich.

Cookies, chips, fountain drinks, tea and water will also be available to everyone in attendance.

OEC honored with The Journal Record’s Beacon Award

S

ince OEC’s formation in 1937, we have been dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people in central Oklahoma. We do this by not only providing affordable electric service to our members, but also by our active involvement in a number of important community support programs. We intentionally invest our time and our personal employee and corporate finances into worthy community needs (over $150,000 annually). Amidst all of that, one of our most successful and unique community efforts is the Operation Round Up® (ORU) program.

Founded in 1989 by a co-op in South Carolina and adopted by OEC in 1993, ORU is a program intended to help those in our communities who have fallen on hard times. The program is funded by individual members who voluntarily ‘round

up’ their monthly electric bills to the nearest dollar each month.

The money is pooled and allocated to a variety of worthy causes throughout the co-op’s sevencounty service area. A nine-member board of directors meets regularly to disperse the funds.

Each participating member donates approximately $6 annually to the fund. Collectively, their generosity equates to about $19,000 a month to aid those in need. More than $4.4 million has been awarded locally in the last two decades.

The program received a prestigious Beacon Award from The Journal Record for its charitable influence.

“With the economic downturn and belt-tightening throughout the state, nonprofits have also taken a hard hit to their revenues,” said Joni Brooks, president and publisher of

The Journal Record. “That made the Beacon Awards even more special this year.”

Charitable commitment is engrained in the company culture at OEC. We are proud to offer the ORU program to our fellow community members and organizations.

YOUTH &

Leadership

Youth Tour winners remember unforgettable week in D.C.

By Tory Tedder-Loffland

F

our area teens recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C. Known as Youth Tour, the all-expenses-paid, seven-day trip to the nation’s capital inspires the talented, hard-working students who have the opportunity to experience it.

The 69 students on this year’s trip were sponsored by 25 of Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives. Katherine Wallace and Caleb Anderson from Little Axe High School, James Thompson from Community Christian School in Norman and Dalton Miller from Amber-Pocasset High School represented OEC on Youth Tour in June. They were awarded the trip after successfully completing a presentation and application process.

“Every year the contestants seem to get better and better,” said OEC CEO Patrick Grace. “We have the best and the brightest young leaders in Oklahoma, and I was honored to have them represent us this year.”

Before the tour begins, the winners had the chance to enter another contest to become the Oklahoma representative on the national Youth Leadership Council. Anderson was named first alternate for this distinguished honor and deserves much praise.

While in D.C., the students toured historic sites, attended a questionand-answer session with Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation, experienced a Potomac River boat ride and made new, lifelong friends. They also attended the national Youth Day with

over 1,600 Youth Tour winners from around the country.

“It is incredible to watch the students evolve,” said Tory TedderLoffland, OEC’s education and outreach coordinator and a chaperone of this year’s trip. “They start in awe of their surroundings, but through experiences like meeting their representatives and witnessing their humanity and accessibility, the students grow to believe anything is possible for them.”

“Plus, experiencing it with 70 others makes it a very unique trip,” said Amanda Hardy, a human resource administrator at OEC who also served as a chaperone this year.

Among the highlights of the trip were visiting the monuments, touring Mount Vernon, the Holocaust

Museum, and the Newseum. For most of the students, the most special moment was the private tour of the Capitol building.

Oklahoma U.S. Congressman Markwayne Mullin continued his tradition of giving the Oklahoma Youth Tour group a private after-hours tour of the Capitol. Congressman Mullin guided the group through areas usually off limits, like the floor of the House of Representatives.

“I will never forget this trip and I’m thankful for this amazing opportunity,” said Thompson, who cited the private capitol tour and meeting his congressman, Steve Russell, as personal highlights.

The purpose of Youth Tour is to give the students valuable insight into American history, while giving

them the tools and the training necessary to succeed as young leaders in today’s ever-changing political climate.

“I learned the importance and need for informed citizens to be involved in their government,” said Miller. “I’m encouraged to serve my country to the best of my ability.”

In addition to personal growth, the relationships formed during this week often endure into college and beyond.

“The most exciting part of the trip for me was experiencing D.C. with a new group of people and building strong friendships with them,” said Wallace.

Youth Tour is a one-of-a-kind experience they will carry with them long beyond their days in D.C.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT I have to say, I’ve never been more proud to be a member of Oklahoma Electric Cooperative.

Not just a member, but the president of its board of trustees.

Bob Usry

We’ve seen a lot of change in the past year, none more apparent than the promotion of Patrick Grace from vice president of engineering to CEO. He had great shoes to fill in outgoing CEO Max Meek’s and has done so seamlessly.

COOPERATIVE VISION We strive to be our members’ trusted, preferred energy provider and impactful community partner.

COOPERATIVE VALUES • Integrity • Service-Driven • Innovation • Excellence • Accountability

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • August 2016 12

The board and employees at OEC are intentional about asking your opinion and acting accordingly.

When you showed an interest in solar power on a recent survey, we began working with WFEC (our wholesale power provider) to offer you a solution.

Now, not one but TWO solar facilities are set to begin operation this year. That’s something all OEC members will begin benefitting from right away.

I speak for the entire board when I say we are proud of the direction OEC is going. Rest assured your voices are being heard and we are excited to bring you new and innovative programs in the coming months.

WHERE MONEY COMES FROM

He has inspired a new way of thinking at OEC — both in its employees and the board. We are moving forward and blazing trails in more ways than one, and I hope you’ve sensed it.

As you can see on the following pages, OEC’s financial health is as strong as ever. We have top notch employees who ensure this is the case. All of OEC’s employees are truly fantastic people who work hard at what they do to make sure we — ­ the members — have reliable service that we can be proud of.
