Cooperative trustees meet once a month at ECE headquarters in Okmulgee. They also devote many additional hours of time reading and staying abreast of industry issues and regulations that can affect your electric rates. Professional development training through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association ensures trustees understand co-op financing, legal issues, state and federal regulations, and other important matters facing the electric utility industry.
