Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for news and updates.
Each year Benton REA hosts a meeting of the members including an appreciation lunch, door prizes and an opportunity for you to meet your co-op employees and trustees. In addition to these activities, members in voting districts have the opportunity to vote for the trustee who will represent them on the board. Because Benton REA is a member-owned cooperative, you have a say in how your cooperative is run.

Connect is our annual business meeting, where we share what's on the horizon for Benton REA, and answer any questions members have.
At Connect, members have a chance to win door prizes such as gifts from various vendors and bill credit certificates. We will also announce winners of district board member elections, announce the winners of the kids guessing games and the safety poster contest. Childcare is proved during the meeting.
