In a world where connections often seem fleeting, communities remain the bedrock of our shared experiences. Whether rooted in geography, interests, or even virtual spaces, communities unite people, fostering a sense of belonging that enriches our lives.
This October, we join over 30,000 cooperatives nationwide in celebrating National Co-op Month. It’s a time to reflect on what makes cooperatives unique and to celebrate the power of co-op membership.
As your local electric cooperative, we’re more than just a utility provider. We’re a not-for-profit organization built by and for the communities we serve. Our mission goes beyond providing reliable power – we’re committed to enhancing your quality of life. Being locally operated allows us to adapt swiftly to our members’ evolving energy needs.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at keeping the lights on. Our employees and directors are deeply invested in our local community because this is our home, too. That’s why we actively support local economic development projects, youth programs and scholarships, charitable giving initiatives, and other programs that make our community a better place to live.
At the heart of our co-op are the seven cooperative principles, which guide our actions and embody the spirit of the cooperative movement. These principles serve as our compass, helping us navigate challenges and opportunities while staying true to our purpose.
As we celebrate National Co-op Month, we invite you to reflect on the unique value of your co-op membership. We’re more than just an electric utility – we’re a community partner dedicated to improving life for all our members.
Our mission is reliable power, but our purpose is people – the local communities we’re proud to serve. This October, let’s celebrate the power of cooperation and the strength of our community. Together, we’re building a brighter future for all.
