Your Co-op Gives You a Voice

Democratic Member Control Annual Meeting

In a cooperative, membership has its privileges. The organization is governed by a member-elected board of directors. The board members are co-op members just like you, who pay the same rates you do and who are obligated to make decisions in the best interests of the cooperative. Each co-op member gets a voice through a vote in the director election as well as on significant matters at annual meeting. Whether you’re a member who has one meter and uses very little electricity or a member who has multiple meters using lots of kilowatt-hours – one member/one vote is the democratic way.

The electric utility industry is complex and quickly changing. Decisions made in Jefferson City and in Washington, D.C., can have a direct impact on the price you pay for electricity. That’s why Crawford Electric works closely with trade associations at the state and national levels to monitor legislative and regulatory activities that could impact you.
