Maribel Esquivel, a communications specialist at TCEC, recently accepted an award of merit for best video on behalf of the cooperative. The winning video featured Chief Finance Officer Kirk Collier explaining how capital credits work. You can watch the video on the cooperative’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/6Uyk3AovtxY.

The award was part of the annual member relations, marketing and communications contest sponsored by the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives (OAEC) and Oklahoma Living magazine. Electric cooperative communicators and marketing professionals submitted 135 entries in 2021. Noted professionals in the fields of marketing, design, communication and photography judged the event, which uses a detailed scoring system to determine the winners.

“We are honored to recognize excellence in the work communicators produce on behalf of electric cooperatives,” said Anna Politano, OAEC Director of Public Relations and Communications. “Delivering messages in a clear, concise and creative format is vital to keeping members engaged in their cooperative.”

TCEC’s communications team was humbled to receive recognition of their efforts to engage members in the cooperative difference.
