October is National Cooperative Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the significant role that cooperatives play in building stronger, more resilient communities. At Meeker Cooperative, we’re honored to be part of this tradition, delivering reliable services while embracing the cooperative principles that guide us—member ownership, democratic control, and a commitment to community well-being.

As a member of Meeker Cooperative, you’re not just a customer; you’re an owner. This means you have a voice in how your cooperative is run. Our board of directors is elected by members like you, ensuring that decisions reflect the needs and priorities of the people we serve. This is a key feature that sets cooperatives apart from investor-owned businesses. Our goal is not to maximize profits but to serve you, our member-owners, with safe, affordable and reliable services.

National Cooperative Month also shines a spotlight on the economic benefits that cooperatives bring to local communities. Cooperatives like Meeker are rooted in the areas we serve, creating local jobs, investing in infrastructure, and supporting other local businesses. We take pride in giving back to the community through various initiatives, including energy-efficiency programs, scholarships for local youth, and sponsorship of community events. Every dollar spent within the cooperative helps strengthen the local economy, creating a ripple effect of benefits.

Additionally, the cooperative principle of “Concern for Community” is central to everything we do. Beyond providing electricity, Meeker Cooperative is actively involved in improving the quality of life in our service area. Through programs like VIBRANT Broadband, we’re helping to bridge the digital divide, ensuring our members have access to high-speed internet for work, school, and home life.

As we celebrate National Cooperative Month, we want to thank you for your continued support and engagement. It’s because of your participation that we’re able to remain strong, forward-thinking, and committed to serving the community. Together, we’re building a brighter, more connected future for all.
