Our Extended Co-op Family

Tony Anderson

Do you have relatives whom you have never met or barely know?

Around the office, we often talk about the “cooperative family.” If you are a member of Cherryland Electric Cooperative (CEC), you are included as part of our family.

We also write and talk about the benefits of belonging to a cooperative, such as local control (owned by those we serve), commitment to community, profits (capital credits) returned to members, and cooperation among cooperatives.

It is these “other” members of the cooperatives family that I want to write about today. Some you may remember, and others you may not. Each plays a valuable part in our daily service to each member on the family tree that is our distribution system.
