Central Rural Electric Cooperative had record attendance at its 85th Annual Meeting held Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. Drive-thru voting occurred at four locations across the service area. Quorum was surpassed with 2,978 members in attendance. Stillwater had the largest turnout with 1,685 members, followed by Guthrie with 511, Chandler with 502, and Perry with 280.

Two bylaw amendments were passed. The first bylaw amendment clarified the length of a trustee term, outlined the staggered terms and removed language pertaining to trustee elections in 2015-2017.  

The second amendment combined the secretary and treasurer offices of the board of trustees and updated the responsibilities of the position.

“The board of trustees is pleased with the record turnout at this year’s Annual Meeting,” said Carol Dvorak, Central’s outgoing board president. “We would like to thank all the members who attended. You bring the cooperative difference to life.”
