Do you pay a bill to an electric cooperative? Then you are a MEMBER, and an OWNER, of your co-op. As a member, your opinion matters to your co-op.
But how do you actually make your voice heard? There are many things you can do, including taking member surveys, participating in the annual meeting, voting in your board elections, joining co-op committees, talking with your co-op board or staff and even running for the board!
We’re looking for stunning photos from the heart of #CoopCountry—rural Missouri, northeast Oklahoma and southeast Iowa. Every Friday, we feature a photo that shows off the beauty of our co-op service area, and we’d love to include yours! You could earn a $10 gift card if your photo is selected or you could be one of four lucky $100 gift card winners of a random drawing from all submissions.
As April arrives, it brings with it the showers that produce spring flowers. It also means the beginning of a potentially stormy season, which can cause power outages. While your local electric cooperative strives to provide reliable electricity to our members, there are times when Mother Nature has other plans. Most of us can ride out a storm from the comfort and convenience of our homes. However, there is a group of professionals that spring into action when the weather takes a turn for the worst – co-op lineworkers.
