Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO COORDINATE THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR 47 MEMBER SYSTEMS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED DELIVERY OF AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE ELECTRICITY.
In support of the mission of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, the Rural Missouri magazine serves as the chief means of communication for the Associations member systems. In 2018, Rural Missouri staff printed and mailed 6.5 million copies of the publication at a cost that is below the price of a postage stamp. Staff produced 532 pages of material to inform members about issues related to the electric cooperative program. In addition, we produced an average of 98 local pages per month that informed members about services and events related to their local system. The publication also served as the official notice of annual meeting for member systems, saving member systems an average of $12,000.
The Risk Management and Training Department provides onsite safety meetings, training, and conferences testing services, audits, risk assessments, and audits for 46 electric cooperatives in Missouri. During 2018, 276 safety meetings were presented and 31 training schools and conferences. The total number of cooperative employees that attended training schools and conferences is 1,094. Thirty audits were completed and 10 risk assessments were also provided. The testing program tested 842 trucks, 4,527 grounds, 3,816 live line tools and 10,679 pieces of cover-up.All billing to cooperatives was through AMEC.
Cooperative Advertising This program serves as the advertising program for all of Missouris Electric Cooperatives. Media purchases are made for cooperatives both individually and collectively. The goal is to receive a better rate for our systems with group purchases and have statewide coverage. The ads are a combination of Electrical Safety and Brand Marketing. We also ran some ads in print form. These were mainly in Rural Missouri Magazine and Todays Farmer.Systems served: 40 Distribution Cooperatives, 6 Generation and Transmission CooperativesBroadcast area: Radio entire state of Missouri, plus additional broadcasts during the State Fair. Print area is the entire state of Missouri circulation. Social Media is present on Facebook, Twitter, and some web pages.Number of Stations/Broadcasts/Prints/Social Media: Approximately 14 stations, Approximately 8,000 radio ads, 12 print ads per year in Rural Missouri, and 10 times in Todays Farmer, and other Ag magazines. Also placement of banners on internet and posts on Facebook.Short Term goals: Provide public information as it relates to safety and current issues of electric cooperatives. Examples: rate issues, storms, energy efficiency, etc.Long Term goals: Building a base for continually updating our member owners on current events and a consistent, ongoing message of being safe around electricity. We also try to provide these messages in the most economical and broad means possible. This is the idea of group purchase of ads on behalf of the entire cooperative system.
