A MESSAGE FROMKIRKLEY THOMASVice President of Governmental A�airsElectric Cooperatives of Arkansas
T he first electric cooperatives in Arkansas were formed in 1937, just two years after the federal Rural Electrification Act was signed
into law. Today, 17 electric cooperatives serve more than one million Arkansans in 74 of the state’s 75 counties. From humble beginnings, the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas now have ownership in 14 electric generating plants, own one of the leading transformer manufacturers in the nation and produce the most widely circulated publication in the state, Arkansas Living magazine.
Our mission is to provide reliable and affordable electricity in a safe and responsible manner to our members. As non-profit cooperatives, the electric cooperatives are owned by their members and advocate on their behalf to improve the quality of life in Arkansas. By using a mix of fuel sources such as hydroelectric, natural gas, coal, solar, biomass and wind, we are able to fulfill our mission.
This roster of the 91st Arkansas General Assembly, the Constitutional Officers and the Arkansas Congressional delegation is provided as a public service. We express our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women who have chosen to serve in public office.

Powering Arkansas’ future the Cooperative Way
The Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas are owned by the people that we serve – our members – and that’s why we take our mission to heart. Our purpose is to provide our members with reliable and affordable electricity, in a responsible manner. To achieve that mission, we look at long-term trends and needs, and pursue strategies that will continue to preserve reliable and affordable service, well into the future. Every decision that we make is aligned with our mission. It is this long-term planning focus that created the diverse and well-balanced generation portfolio that we have today, which includes coal, natural gas, hydropower, biomass, and solar energy resources. While coal and natural gas resources supply the majority of our members’ energy needs, beginning in 2017, eighteen percent of our electricity needs will be met with wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric energy. As we look ahead, we will be evaluating new sources of power and new technologies, and will participate in new energy policy discussions at the state and federal levels. Through our diverse mix of generation resources and our dedication to the members we serve, the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas are powering Arkansas today and preparing for tomorrow.
