• Member-Led
PUTTING MEMBERS FIRST

At Associated Electric Cooperative, we work diligently to serve our cooperative system, but with a distinct advantage: Our member-owners lead the company. Since 1961, this distinguishing governance model has enabled Associated to understand and deliver what member-owners value most: reliable, affordable and responsible electricity.

Member-led governance

Associated is member-owned and member-governed, a key strength that ensures the needs of the communities we serve are prioritized first in decision-making. Learn more about our member-led advantage.
