October is National Co-op Month, and Hendricks Power is joining cooperatives across the U.S. to celebrate. Co-ops come in all shapes and sizes, but they each have a common goal: to provide goods or services for the members of the co-op. 
Electric co-ops, including Hendricks Power exist to serve their members. Our priority is to provide affordable, reliable energy to our local communities. Because we are led by you, the members we serve, we can evolve to meet your needs. 
This October, as we celebrate Co-op Month, we’re focusing on the ways “Co-ops Grow” for their members. 

Multiple linemen from Hendricks Power competed at the Indiana Electric Cooperative Lineman Rodeo, held Aug. 24-25 in Danville. The two-day event showcased the skills and safety training of electric cooperative lineworkers. 
Hendricks Power was represented by two teams and an individual participant in the statewide competition. The linemen competed in events that test skills such as pole climbing, hurt man rescue and safely changing electric line hardware. A total of 28 teams and 102 individuals from 24 Indiana electric cooperatives competed in this year’s event.

Guided by its Seven Cooperative Principles, Hendricks Power shows its love and support to its local community in various ways. With Valentine’s Day approaching, there's no better time to express how much HPC loves its community and serving the members of the co-op. Here are a few ways HPC supports its community throughout the year.

October is National Cooperative Month, so we wanted to remind members exactly what sets us apart from other electricity providers across central Indiana.

As a cooperative, Hendricks Power is guided by its Board of Directors, which is made up of member-owners like you! Board members are elected by other members in a democratic vote. This year, geographic areas 1, 2, and 3 are up for election.
Due to recent growth, our geographic areas have been updated to better represent and serve our members. The current areas up for election include Guilford, Center, and Lincoln townships in Hendricks County. If you are a Hendricks Power member and reside in these areas, you're eligible to run!

As an electric cooperative, our top priority is always to provide reliable, affordable energy to you, the consumer-members we serve. Our mission is to enrich our members’ lives and serve our local community’s long-term interests––and this mission has never been more critical than in recent months. One of the seven principles that guides all co-ops is “concern for community.” At Hendricks Power, this principle is the essential DNA, and it sets us apart from other electric utilities.

Each year, Hendricks Power awards scholarships to local high school seniors. Winners are chosen based on academics, community involvement, and an essay submission. This year's essay prompt was, "Which cooperative principle do you this is most important and why?"
