Governance & Engagement
Cooperatives are owned and controlled by their members. Here are some ways you can get involved with WRVEC:
Make Your Voice Heard with MAP
WRVEC is making it easier than ever before for our members to have a voice. The Member Alliance Program offers a direct pipeline to the Cooperative’s Bylaws, Governance, and Engagement Committee. The committee was formed to evaluate best practices to continually improve the organization and help the Cooperative to better reach the membership. Comments and suggestions from the program will be reviewed each time the committee meets. Submissions are evaluated and implementation is considered in accordance of industry best practices, cooperative betterment, and the membership as a whole.

America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC
Sixty years ago, NRECA established our political action committee (PAC) to support federal political candidates who recognize the vital role of electric cooperatives in their local communities. Today, over 28,000 individuals contribute to the PAC, making it the #1 federal utility PAC. America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC is an essential bipartisan tool that empowers the collective voice of electric cooperatives nationwide. The PAC is dedicated to building valued and trusted relationships with political candidates who, if elected, have the opportunity to champion issues that directly impact electric cooperatives. Through PAC, WRVEC members have the ability to strengthen this support and join other PAC members who form a strong grassroots network dedicated to the long-term success of the electric cooperative program.
As a member of WRVEC, you are among 42 million Americans who can claim ownership in a not-for-profit consumer-controlled utility that provides electricity at cost. By contributing to the PAC, you can make a difference in shaping the future of America’s electric co-ops like WRVEC and the communities we serve.
