Dale Bunn honored for service to OMPA Board of Directors

Dale Bunn, City Manager of Purcell, was honored at the August 10 meeting of the OMPA Board of Directors for his service these past 10 years.

Bunn serves on the Executive Committee as Board Treasurer following a time as Secretary. Bunn Chairs the OMPA Audit and Finance Committee and is a member of the Nominations and the Risk Management Committees.

Bunn began his service on the OMPA Board of Directors on June 8, 2013. The OMPA Board of Directors meets each month on the second Thursday of the month at the OMPA offices in Edmond.

Board members are not compensated for their service to the OMPA Board, as it is a commitment of their own time when choosing to serve.

Bunn has been the Purcell City Manager since 2011. OMPA has delivered wholesale power to the City of Purcell since 2008.

A wholesale power supplier with 42 municipal members throughout Oklahoma, OMPA is governed by its 11-member Board of Directors, who are elected by representatives of the members.

The board is comprised of elected officials, city managers and others who are involved in the operating or governing of their electric systems. Board members serve staggered three-year terms, with one-third of them coming up for election each year.
