Ronnie Grover and Bob Usry reappointed to board of trustees
Each trustee began three-year terms in September following two uncontested elections. The two trustees — also OEC members — proudly serve their respective districts across OEC’s service area.
“Grover and Usry have diligently represented the members in their districts throughout their service on the board,” said Ronnie Tharp, Board of Trustees president. “We know Mr. Grover and Mr. Usry will serve 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 July Co-op News of the upcoming filing period for a spot on OEC’s board representing Districts 4 (Newcastle) and 8 (Midwest City, Choctaw and Norman).
OEC’s Board of Trustees is tasked with becoming educated, knowledgeable experts in the electric industry. Eight of the nine trustees hold certifications and distinctions marking them as professionals in the field, qualifying them 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.
