Pioneer has planned its annual meeting for Tuesday, May 5 at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds’ Exhibit Building.
Those attending will receive a $50 bill credit on their Pioneer account.
The day begins with a 7:30 a.m. drive-thru registration,
Pioneer’s 73rd anniversary — and we’d love to see you there … even if your day is packed, you can swing by, pick up your favorite Pioneer swag, and receive a $50 bill credit.”
Callaham said the credit is the largest one Pioneer has ever been able to offer at its annual meetings.
He said you can also stick around to play some Bingo, and visit with the local technology experts about Pioneer products or services.
Meeting business topics include a by-law change that would allow Annual Meetings to be streamed to additional locations across Pioneer Territory.
“We know the drive to Kingfisher can be a real commitment — especially from communities like Frederick, Hollis, Shattuck, Mooreland, Pond Creek, Comanche, and many others — where travel can take up to three hours one way. Our goal is simple: to make participation easier for members across our territory while still giving you the opportunity to watch the meeting, vote on important items, and be eligible for attendee prizes closer to home.”
Callaham said to make that happen, the Co-op needs your vote and the way to do that is by attending the Annual Meeting. Pioneer management encourages the attendance and a yes vote on the proposed by-law change.
Callaham said Pioneer is reporting a strong financial 2025 and has approved an estimated $8.8 million allocation for the general membership and estate payments for 2026. As Pioneer is a Co-op, this is one way Pioneer gives back to its membership.
Additionally, Callaham said Pioneer has invested more than $307 million in fiber over the last eight years, reaching more than 15,000 miles of fiber across 82 communities in Western Oklahoma. This, he said, is a transformative service which might otherwise go unserved or there might be inferior alternatives.
The Exhibit Building is at 300 S. 13th Street in Kingfisher, Oklahoma.
