MEET THE EDITOR


Before you continue


reading my fi rst issue of the Oklahoma Electric Co-op News, allow me to introduce myself as your new editor. My name is


Brianna Wall, and I have worked at OEC


full-time for six and a half years–I began working part-time in the customer service department in 2006. Like my predecessor, Tory Tedder-Loffl and, mentioned last month, I am from Stigler, a small town in eastern Oklahoma. I come from a co-op family–my dad manages Cookson Hills Electric Co-op. Since 2010, I have been part of


the member services department. I believe I’ve dealt a little with every program our member services department off ers. Of course, there have been many, many long- time employees who have helped me learn the ins and outs, some of whom have either retired or are planning to very soon. I am grateful for the knowledge and wisdom they have passed to the rest of us. Moving forward, I hope the


Co-op News continues to be a magazine you look forward to receiving and reading each month. I would like to hear your


thoughts regarding the Co-op News and the topics about which you would like to read more or less. Email me at OECNews@ okcoop.org or, if you’re a fan of snail mail like I am, send correspondence to OEC, Attn: OEC News, PO Box 1208, Norman OK, 73070. T anks for reading and enjoy

For example, Noble Pharmacy is included, as well as Williams Pharmacy in Lexington and Cedar Springs Pharmacy in Tuttle.” T e Card does not act as
