What does it mean to be a member-owner?
Being a member-owner of Wright-Hennepin distinguishes you from other electric utility customers in a number of ways:
- Your voice is heard. You have an input regarding setting policy through a nine-member board elected by you and other Wright-Hennepin members in the local area. Board members serve three-year terms and elections are held at an Annual Meeting each spring.
- You share in the “profits” of the cooperative. Since we are a cooperative, any excess margins are returned to our member-owners in the form of capital credits. Wright-Hennepin has returned more than $30 million in capital credits over the years.
