MEC celebrates National Cooperative Month

When we think of October, trick or treating, pumpkins and fall foliage come to mind. But at Missoula Electric Cooperative (MEC) and fellow cooperatives across the country, October is notable for another reason – National Cooperative Month! This is the time of year when cooperatives celebrate what makes us different and most importantly, the members and communities we serve!

Cooperatives are different than other businesses. When the market fails to offer a product or service, or does so at a steep price, co-ops are often established to fill the need. Such was the case when MEC was created.
