CREA provides its members and the general public with several ways to stay informed as to what is happening within the electric industry. These include the following:
Colorado Country Life magazine. This magazine is purchased by CREA member co-ops for their member-owners and is the most cost-effective way for the co-ops to get important information to their members. The public may subscribe to the magazine for only $15 a year (in state) or $20 a year (out of state). Call 303-455-4111 or email info@coloradocountylife.org to subscribe.
Our Colorado Power newsletter. This 6 times a year e-newsletter is filled with information on what Colorado’s electric co-ops are doing in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation. It also keeps readers up to date on other innovative programs the co-ops are involved in. Subscribe by filling out this form.
The CREA Energy Innovations Summit. Another way to stay current with industry information is to attend the annual fall Energy Innovations Summit.
America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC/CARE
To enhance the legislative program, CREA actively promotes and solicits memberships in both America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC and CARE. America’s Electric Cooperatives PAC, formally known as ACRE, is the national political action committee headquartered at NRECA in Arlington, Virginia. CARE, Colorado Advocates for Rural Electrification, is the Colorado PAC, and its funds are maintained in the CREA office in Denver, Colorado. The CREA legislative staff, the CARE Committee and the membership determine which candidates for state office receive CARE’s support. PAC and CARE are bipartisan committees.
