Our Story
Welcome to our Facebook community for utility communicators. Are you a Ruralite magazine reader? We have a special page for you: www.facebook.com/Ruralite
Pioneer Utility Resources, a co-op for utility communicators, is owned by almost 100 public power members across the nation. Instead of buying power, our members sign up for handy communication tools: magazines, newsletters, annual reports, directories, ballots, t-shirts, social media support, website services and more. Have an idea? We'll help you turn it into a reality.
Any publicly-owned utility who uses our services regularly can become a Pioneer member. The only requirement is a written application and a one-time $10 membership fee. Members enjoy the privilege of voting for directors and bylaw changes. In addition, members participate in annual margin allocations through our capital credit program. A utility does not have to take the magazine to be a Pioneer member, but magazine membership adds special privileges.
