Page Velasco, member relations supervisor for Ozarks Electric, was recognized as a 2025 "Co-op Rising Star" by RE Magazine.
The goal of the article is to recognize "the growing cadre of smart, dedicated, energetic professionals who are stepping up, leaning in and bringing fresh leadership to co-ops across the country."
The article highlighted Velasco's calm, optimistic attitude and leadership under pressure, particularly during the significant outage event in May of this year, which left nearly 36,000 members without power.
“She leads by example, maintaining composure under pressure, providing clear direction, and holding herself and others to the highest standards,” Page's supervisor, Gari Olszewski, said in the article.
