When you get your power or other services from Bowie-Cass Electric Co-operative, you're more than a customer; you're an owner. That's because BCEC is a non-profit, member-owned cooperative. Co-ops are owned by the people they serve, not shareholders. As a co-op member, you have a voice and a vote.
A co-op is founded when people with a similar need form an organization to provide goods or services. For example, a credit union is a co-op.
You are a member and co-owner in this nonprofit organization. This gives you certain rights that are quite different than if you were a customer of a for-profit utility that is owned by shareholders. In addition to having a say in how the company is operated, you will gain a share of the ownership as you use our services. A cooperative's net margin above expenses and reserves does not belong to the utility; it belongs to the individual member-owners of Bowie-Cass. The margins must either be used to improve or maintain operations or be distributed to BCEC's member-owners. Indeed, this is one of the major aspects of a cooperative that make it truly unique.
