OREMC employees recently gathered in fellowship and celebration of service to its members. General Manager John Middleton thanked employees for their dedication and commitment to member service and cited member satisfaction and  OREMC's recent selection as "Best Utility" by readers of of the Tribune & Georgian as testament to that service. He reinforced it takes a collective effort and that he was appreciative of "all each of you does every day."

He then recognized each employee individually by name, job and office location as a way of introducing new and more seasoned employees to another, given they don't necessarily interact with one another on a daily basis.
