FROM the

TOP Patrick Grace, CEO

It's been a busy summer here at OEC as we gear up for our Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Night on Aug. 10 — you can read all about it on the pages of this month's Co-op News.

In addition to preparing for our biggest event of the year, we just concluded this year's District Meetings in Amber, Moore and Washington.

I always enjoy the District Meetings because I am able to speak one-on-one with members and hear their issues. It's a great place to get your questions answered because staff members from all departments are on hand to help you out and they are the real experts. I love to see members showing initiative in their co-op; It's what makes the consumer-owned cooperative a great business model.

Members at all three District Meetings asked the same question: When will OEC Fiber be available in my area? The answer is soon for some, a while longer for others.

I know it is an exciting possibility for a lot of our members who have been waiting a very long time to have reliable internet service at their homes. We are building out the infrastructure as quickly and safely as possible while keeping reliability – of both Fiber and electricity — in mind. Remember, we began the construction for OEC Fiber a mere five months ago, but our top priority remains the reliability of our electric system.

In fact, one of the reasons our board of trustees decided to begin this broadband journey was because it would directly impact our communications to down-line reclosers and other devices on our electric lines. These unprecedented capabilities will reduce outage times in the future, something we know our consumermembers want and need from their co-op.

While we are not the first electric co-op to fill the broadband gap for our members, we are proud to have done our due diligence in ensuring this is a service our consumer-members desire and one we can offer knowing it's an economical investment for everyone.

Visit with us more at our Annual Meeting Aug. 10 about OEC Fiber and all the other exciting projects in the works.

All members in attendance who register will receive a $20 credit on their primary electric accounts, along with a new OEC cap and pen. And it wouldn't be an Annual Meeting without the largest prize giveaway you've ever seen.

Once again, we're set to give away scores of door prizes, including additional electric credits, and a $1,000 grand prize. Kids will have their own chances to win prizes, as will those who visit the Innovation Expo on the upper concourse.

Don't forget, members pursuing higher education can apply for one of three $1,000 Luck of the Draw scholarships! Members of all ages will want to make plans to attend this year's event.

Be sure to tell us you will be attending by visiting www.okcoop.org/ annualmeeting to reserve your tickets. Members without internet access may also call 405-217-6990.

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC), OEC's wholesale generation and transmission power provider, has an impressive renewable portfolio that includes wind, hydro and — recently added — solar. OEC's Solar Garden, located at Interstate 35 and Highway 77 in Norman, began producing power in February 2017, and Tuttle's 40-acre Solar Farm began operation in March 2017. As more solar facilities come online, expect to see it added to WFEC's generation report, increasing the already robust mix of renewable energy sources.

Data collected from Western Farmers Electric Cooperative reflects generation during May 2018.

YOUTH & LEADERSHIP

OKLAHOMA YOUTH TOUR STUDENTS SPEND UNFORGETTABLE WEEK IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • August 2018

F

Four 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 70 students on this year’s trip were sponsored by 25 of Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives. Audrey Bradford from Amber-Pocasset High School, Jasmine Williams and Josie McFarland from Newcastle High School, and Lauren Berry from Westmoore High School represented OEC on Youth Tour in June. They were awarded the trip after successfully completing a presentation and application process. OEC Education and Outreach Coordinator Tory Tedder-Loffland attended Youth Tour as one of eight chaperones.

“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.”

While in D.C., the students toured historic sites, attended a questionand-answer session with Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation 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 Tedder-Loffland.

“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.”

Among the highlights of the trip were visiting the monuments and 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 am so grateful that [Youth Tour] allowed me to listen and interview the senators and representatives of our state," said Bradford. "Most of them sacrifice time with their family and friends to run this country, and it put a deep sense of respect in my heart for our government."

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. After all, the electric cooperative movement was born in politics in the 1930s.

"The history I walked on, the things I saw (both entertaining and eyeopening) and the people I encountered have all impacted me in a special way that has helped me grow as a person," said Berry. [5329101301] Williams echoed Berry's statement, saying "I really feel like I've grown so much as a person throughout this whole experience."

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

"Walking the same steps as my heroes gave me a feeling of empowerment and optimism," said McFarland. "One day, I hope to continue to walk in their footsteps, but as a career."

Congratulations to OEC's four well-deserved Youth Tour winners of 2018.

OEC, National Guard partner for cybersecurity training

klahoma Army National Guard (OKARNG) soldiers are no stranger to working side-by-side with fellow government agencies at home and on the battlefield. However, during a two-week training event at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, soldiers from the OKARNG trained with a civilian agency — OEC — to better prepare for a threat on the cyber battlefield.

For the scenario that took place May 14-18, a fictitious transportation company known as Jet Black was attempting to roll out a nationwide turnpike system that was receiving a barrage of cyber attacks from threat actors.

Soldiers from the joint, 10-member Defense Cyber Operations Element (DCOE) cyber response team, comprised of soldiers from the OKARNG and Arkansas Army National Guard, provided technical assistance to protect the fictional infrastructure asset.

The OKARNG invited Brad Keener, OEC information technology system engineer, to play the role of the IT department for the fabricated agency.

“As an IT professional, coming in and

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • August 2018

working with other IT professionals on a mockchaos situation, it really is a unique opportunity to come in and test their skills,” Keener said.

“Those soldiers were sharp. It was an absolute pleasure working with them.”

Lt. Col. Chris Douglas, OKARNG DCOE team chief, said working with OEC was his first time partnering with a civilian agency. He welcomes the opportunity to work with and learn from others in the future.

“When I was looking to get our team together to go to Cyber Shield, I was looking for a mission partner that was a nongovernment agency, civilian organization in our community,” Douglas said. “Since we as the Guard are involved in the local communities, I looked at electricity as one of those infrastructures. I thought OEC would be a natural partner with us because they are out in rural communities here in Oklahoma. Brad was able to step into that role and just run with it.”

The DCOE is strictly focused on cyber continued on page 13 >>

EC L.E.A.R.N: Leading, Educating, Advancing and Rewarding the Next generation, encompasses all educational and leadership opportunities offered to teachers, students and schools in OEC's service area. It includes Get Charged!, YouthPower Energy Camp, Leadership Summit, Youth Tour and more.

“I am very grateful our board of trustees understands the need for electricity education and gives us the resources we need to go into our area schools and make a difference for our students, teachers and struggling school systems,” said OEC Education and Outreach Coordinator Tedder-Loffland.

OEC's youth programs impact students of all ages and emphasize the importance of electrical safety while showing them how exactly electricity is made and distributed. The programs are also designed to promote the cooperative business model.

"In addition to the four programs listed, we also have Co-opoly, a fun, interactive game that enhances students' understanding of co-ops and our unique ways of doing business," said Tedder-Loffland.

OEC's new Live Line, a portable high voltage demo, travels to schools and local emergency personnel stations to demonstrate real-life dangers to kids, first responders and the general public.

"All of our programs offer quality education and leadership opportunities to thousands of students in our service area," said Tedder-Loffland. "I am happy to bring these programs to classrooms across our service area this school year."

If you have any questions about the educational opportunities of OEC L.E.A.R.N. or would like to schedule one of OEC's programs in your child's classroom, contact Tory Tedder-Loffland at 217-6726 or tory@okcoop.org.

<< continued from page 10 defense operations rather than offensive operations.

Douglas said the role of the DCOE is to defend the terrain, fix whatever bad guys broke, assist the agencies with building a remediation plan and help defend the critical cyber infrastructure.

“It is a unique training opportunity for us because we are entering into their network to help defend it for them and we have no idea what it looks like,” said Douglas. “How can we step in and how can we defend that? What would we need to know and what would we need to provide? That was the fun part for us – to challenge our technical skills and figure out where and how the threat actors were getting in.

“Looking at real world scenarios, there are real threat actors out there,” Douglas added. “We look at those scenarios that are happening out there in the real world and we try to train for them; train like we fight.”

Keener said there is more to cyber security than the constant paranoia of a system being hacked. Rather than worry, he said he sees it as an opportunity for preparation.

“We are always investigating ways to harden our system to prevent these types of attacks,” Keener continued. “One thing I have considered is what it would take to bring somebody in and bring them up to speed on what we currently have. Moving forward, we are going to better prepare ourselves.”

“The IT industry is such a broad field that it is impossible to be an expert in everything,” Keener noted. “In an emergency situation, it is necessary to bring in somebody you do not necessarily know.

Therefore, it is vital to have relationships already established before something goes wrong.”

“From our standpoint, if we had an event like this happen, for OEC, it was great to see the steps involved from the National Guard perspective on what they would need from us,” Keener said. “I think it’s a great benefit to establish this relationship with the National Guard before something happens. The more the Guard can do that, I think the better they serve, not only the community, but the nation.”
