Embracing the cooperative principles

Soon after the adoption of the Rural Electrification Act in 1935, Indiana Statewide became the first electric cooperative association in the nation.  Today, Indiana Statewide Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives provides electricity to nearly 500,000 consumers and businesses in parts of 89 of Indiana’s 92 counties.   

Like other cooperatives, Indiana Statewide Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives is celebrating 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives.  Katy Stegall, Development Coordinator with the Indiana Statewide Association (of Rural Electric Cooperatives) tells Brownfield keeping in step with the cooperative principles; they are giving back to the community.
