Mission Statement:
The Consumer Advisory Task Force (CATF) exists to serve as a liaison between Sawnee EMC and the communities these members represent. The CATF is to interact with the staff of Sawnee as well as the General Activities Committee of the Board of Directors and offer guidance relating to matters of interest to them and all Sawnee EMC members. It is Sawnee EMC’s goal to provide a higher degree of information to this select group of members concerning the day-to-day affairs of the operations of their cooperative. The staff of Sawnee wants this group to become familiar with the process involved with this cooperative and to share this information with anyone who may have interest in Sawnee EMC. By doing this, we hope to create a better relationship with the communities in which the members live…thereby creating a stronger bond between Sawnee EMC and their communities.

CATF Activities:
The CATF members are an active part of our communities. Throughout the year, they participate in various activities to raise money for the scholarship fund and local charities. One of the most successful fundraisers is the selling of the raffle tickets for a homemade quilt awarded each year at the Sawnee EMC Annual Meeting. The annual meeting gives our CATF members the opportunity to raffle the quilt and help out with the children’s activities. It is also a wonderful opportunity for the CATF members to talk with other Sawnee EMC members.
