WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A COOPERATIVE
Membership equals ownership, and ownership equals profits for you!
As a subscriber to any of our services, you’re automatically a member of Venture Communications Cooperative and are making an investment in a company you and your neighbors own. As a member, you gain benefits not available to customers of big name communications companies, including these:
- You elect your representative on the Board of Directors. Their job is to oversee the operation of the cooperative and protect your investment.
- Once the operating costs and reinvestments in the cooperative have been met, the Board of Directors allocates the remaining money to the members in the form of capital credits. The amount allocated varies from year to year. When Venture Communications Cooperative makes a profit, you make a profit.
A cooperative is truly a unique business, since everyone has a stake in its success.
