Local People. Serving You.

Join Us at the Annual Meeting

    It's that time of year again: Rusk County Electric Cooperative is gearing up for its 88th annual meeting, which will be held Thursday, April 17, at the Rusk County Youth Expo Center.

    The annual meeting is a time for Rusk County EC members to gather, share experiences, hear from co-op leadership, enjoy a meal and maybe win a door prize. Your electric cooperative is not owned by faraway investors or run by an appointed board of directors. It’s run by a democratically elected board that is given the privilege to serve because of your vote. Our board of directors is made up of seven members who live and work right here in our local service area, putting them in the best position to know where community investments are most needed. Most consumers likely don’t equate active involvement in their electric company with helping their community. But Rusk County EC is not an ordinary utility company. As a co-op, our business model is meant to serve the members and the community in which it operates.

    Our core purpose and mission is to provide safe, reliable and affordable service to our members that enhances their quality of life. We’re motivated by service to our community, rather than profits. The annual meeting is an opportunity to gather with other members and be involved in deciding the future of the co-op. Not only will you have a good time, but you’ll feel good knowing you had a voice in a very important decision that impacts one of our most vital resources—electricity. We hope you’ll exercise the benefits of your co-op membership and join us for the annual meeting April 17.
