Less known is the fact that cooperaƟ ves have also adopted a set of values that helps to put these principles into pracƟ ce.


CooperaƟ ves are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradiƟ on of their founders, co-ops believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.


Let’s take a closer look at these values and see how they impact us here at Northeast Oklahoma Electric CooperaƟ ve.


The founders of Northeast created it to serve the members that use the electricity and other services we provide, and we conƟ nue to do that today. This embodies the values of self-help, taking acƟ on and doing what needs to be done. We also know we must embrace the value of self-responsibility and be accountable to you, our member.


Each member has one vote, no maƩ er how much electricity you use. This ensures that democracy is pracƟ ced the way it is intended with equality for all members. This is a key diī erence between co-ops and investor-owned companies where the number of votes you have depends on the number of shares you own.


For co-op members, equity has two meanings. We strive to treat all of our members fairly. It also means that, as a member, you have equity (ownership) in the co-op.


While each co-op is autonomous, we do act in solidarity with other co-ops and our community. We know that we can do more for you by partnering with other co-ops and like-minded organizaƟ ons.


Your parents were right when they said, “honesty is the best policy.” As an owner, you have the right to expect us to act with openness and in a transparent manner. We welcome your acƟ ve parƟ cipaƟ on in our co-op.


CooperaƟ ves have long (and correctly) been idenƟ⇒ ed as the original socially responsible business, meaning we care about the impact we have on the community while ensuring we are economically viable.


We try to demonstrate our concern for the community through caring for others every single day, whether it is through OperaƟ on Round-Up, youth programs, oī ering scholarships, and more.


By using our values in support of our principles since our founding in 1938, we have been able to serve you for the past 78 and will do so long into the future.z
