YOU and approximately 6000 other member-consumers are Se-Ma-No Electric Cooperative.
Your Electric Cooperative was organized in 1945 as a member-owned, non-profit cooperative to supply electricity to rural portions of the Seymour, Mansfield and Norwood areas. Se-Ma-No serves portions of the cities of Mountain Grove, Mansfield and Seymour plus the city of Norwood and rural areas along highway 60 from Diggins to Mountain Grove.
Today, Se-Ma-No Electric Cooperative is a major business with assets over $22 million and annual operating revenues in excess of $9 million. Se-Ma-No owns and maintains over 1,110 miles of distribution lines served from seven sub-stations owned by Sho-Me Power Corporation, which provides electricty to the cooperative.
Control of the cooperative is by the members through a nine member board of directors service three year terms, with three members elected each year at the annual membership meeting.
In addition to the annual meeting, members are kept informed of the cooperative activities through releases to local news media, special mailings, by employees, board members and the Rural Missouri magazine published by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.
As a member, you are encouraged to keep informed and to contact the coop's office when you have questions about rates, service, energy conservation and special use programs. All members are encouraged to attend the annual membership meeting to hear reports, elect directors and participate in the business portion of the meeting.
In addition to your membership in Se-Ma-No, you are part of nine Rural Electric Cooperatives which make up Sho-Me Power Electric Corporation and fifty-three REC's in Missouri, Oklahoma and southeast Iowa that meke up the Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., that generated electricity at the Thomas Hill and New Madrid power plants and strategically located gas fired plants throughout their system.
Cooperative Principles
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, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.
Democratic Member Control
Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions. The elected representatives are accountable to the membership. In primary cooperatives, members have equal voting rights (one member, one vote) and cooperatives at other levels are organized in a democratic manner.
Members’ Economic Participation
Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. Members usually receive limited compensation, if any, on capital subscribed as a condition of membership. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative, possibly by setting up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership.
Autonomy and Independence
Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy.
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. They inform the general public, particularly young people and opinion leaders, about the nature and benefits of cooperation.
Cooperation Among Cooperatives
Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative 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.
