Osage Valley annual meeting set for August 21st


The 87th  Annual Meeting of the members of Osage Valley Electric Cooperative Association will be held in a new format this year. The meeting will be held in a “drive-thru” format on August 21, 2025,  with members registering from 4:00-6:00pm at either the Butler or Clinton office.  Signage and employees will direct member traffic through the pole yards at both locations for registration, voting, and receiving a gift.  We ask those attending the drive-thru format to bring your registration slip from the August Rural Missouri magazine.  A $20 electric credit will be given to all members participating in the drive-thru meeting.

Online participation for the OVEC Annual Meeting will also be available again this year from August 9-19, 2025, for those unable to attend the drive-thru format, or for those choosing the convenience of online voting.  Online voters will receive a $20.00 bill credit on their electric account also.  Check our website or Facebook page for a link to the online voting portal during August 9-19, 2025.

All drive-thru and online members registering will also be eligible for additional prizes and electric credit certificates through a drawing.  All electric credits for members registering, and for prize winners, will be applied to the members’ September 1, 2025, electric bill.
