PETIT JEAN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE’S OPERATING PRINCIPLES: 150 YEARS
OF DEVELOPMENT (1844-1994)
Petit Jean Electric Cooperative adheres to certain principles that
have been developed and honed for over 150 years. These principles
have been tried and proven through the fiery furnace of time and
trial, and have well served Petit Jean’s membership for over 60 years
now, since its inception on October 7, 1940.
Petit Jean Electric Cooperative follows the tried and proven
principles that are considered underlying doctrine or tenants defining
or identifying its daily operating characteristics. Below, you will
find a listing of today’s cooperative principles, followed by a brief
history of the development of cooperative principles.
Today’s Seven Guiding Principles of
Petit Jean Electric Cooperative
And the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas
-
Voluntary and Open Membership. Cooperatives are voluntary
organizations, open to all persons able to use their services and
willing to accept the responsibilities of membership.
-
Democratic Member Control. Cooperatives are democratic
organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate
in setting policies and making decisions.
-
Member’s Economic Participation. Members contribute equitably
to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative.
-
Autonomy and Independence. Cooperatives are autonomous,
self-help organizations controlled by their members.
-
Education, Training, and Information. Cooperatives provide
education and training for their members, elected representatives,
managers, and employees so they can contribute effectively to the
development of their cooperatives.
-
Cooperation among Cooperatives. Cooperatives serve their members
most effectively and strengthen the cooperatives movement by working
together through local, national, regional and international
structures.
-
Concern for Community. While focusing on member needs, cooperatives
work for the sustainable development of their communities through
policies accepted by their members.
