Grassroots advocacy starts with you

Grass­roots advo­ca­cy is not just about ener­gy pol­i­cy and pol­i­tics: it’s about rela­tion­ships. While your co-op’s lead­er­ship works hard to con­nect with leg­is­la­tors, the most crit­i­cal rela­tion­ship we have is with you, our mem­bers. As a local, not-for-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion with demo­c­ra­t­i­cal­ly elect­ed lead­er­ship, your engage­ment shapes York Electric’s direc­tion and suc­cess.

The demo­c­ra­t­ic process is at the heart of York Elec­tric. From elect­ing your trustees to attend­ing our annu­al meet­ing, your par­tic­i­pa­tion ensures your co-op remains respon­sive, and mem­ber focused. YEC’s past and future suc­cess all begins with you, the “root” of our grass­roots net­work.

Here are three sim­ple ways to engage with your co-op, your com­mu­ni­ty and the demo­c­ra­t­ic process at the foun­da­tion of every elec­tric coop­er­a­tive:

• Learn about your elect­ed offi­cials and pre­pare to vote in upcom­ing elec­tions by vis­it­ing Vote.coop.
• Join Voic­es for Coop­er­a­tive Pow­er to stay informed and con­nect with leg­is­la­tors on co-op issues. Vis­it Voic­es for Coop­er­a­tive Pow­er today.
• Stay con­nect­ed with YEC through social media and local events.
