National Co-op Month is celebrated annually in October, and this year marks the 60th anniversary of recognizing cooperatives across the country for their significant economic impact, community engagement and achievements.
Cooperatives have a remarkable history, demonstrating a resilient business model that has endured over time. It is fitting that the theme for this year’s National Co-op Month is “The Future is Cooperative,” as it reflects the forward-thinking nature of cooperatives and underscores the importance these organizations hold within their communities.
Chariton Valley Telephone Cooperative is no exception. With an impressive and storied history that spans over 70 years, its rich heritage serves as the foundation the company stands on today and lays the groundwork for its promising future.
The cooperative remains committed to upholding the principles that define all cooperatives.
These principles include:
- Voluntary and Open Membership
- Democratic Member Control
- Members’ Economic Participation
- Autonomy and Independence
- Education, Training and Information
- Cooperation Among Cooperatives
- Concern for Community
