Colorado Rural Electric Association

Colorado Rural Electric Association The Colorado Rural Electric Association is the trade group for Colorado's electric cooperatives.

09/01/2026

As CEO of Gunnison County Electric Association in Gunnison, Mike McBride leads a member-owned electric cooperative built around the same principle that guides electric co-ops across Colorado: serving the communities they call home. From how lines are managed to how electricity is priced, decisions are made locally with the goal of serving co-op members and their communities best.

Keeping it that way takes more than good intentions, though. Decisions made at the
State Capitol directly affect your electric rates, your service and your community, and
rural voices aren’t always the ones lawmakers are hearing from.

Colorado Electric Co-op Advocates (CECA) is a grassroots advocacy network giving co-op members the tools, information and timing to make your voice heard at the Capitol in just minutes. Sign up at the link in bio and help ensure your co-op can keep delivering the safe, reliable and affordable power your community depends on.

Just as Colorado’s electric cooperatives work around the clock to keep your power reliable, taking care of yourself helps keep your energy strong for the people who count on you.

This National Wellness Month, remember that taking care of your mental well-being is just as important as taking care of your physical health. A healthier you benefits your family, your coworkers, and your community. 🌿

This time of year, you'll likely see more tractors, combines, and other farm equipment traveling on Colorado's rural roads. These vehicles help feed our communities, but they also move much slower than regular traffic.

When you encounter agricultural equipment:
🚜 Slow down and be patient.
🚗 Only pass when it's safe and legal to do so.
↔️ Give equipment plenty of space, especially when turning or entering fields.
👀 Stay alert—wide equipment may take up more than one lane.

A little patience goes a long way in keeping everyone safe. Let's work together to make sure our farmers, ranchers, and motorists all get home safely.

The final day of the 2026 Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp celebrated a week of growth, leadership, and lasting friendships.

Students explored leadership and the important role electric cooperatives play in environmental stewardship through presentations from HawkQuest and cooperative leaders. They also participated in leadership seminars, reflected on their camp experience with a letter-to-self activity, and prepared for the closing banquet.

The week concluded with ambassador speeches, the election of the 2027 ambassadors, and a closing ceremony celebrating the leadership, teamwork, and confidence these students will carry back to their schools and communities. Congratulations to all who participated in another successful Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp!

Another unforgettable day at the 2026 Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp! 🚣‍♀️

Day 4 took students on the Colorado River for a rafting trip, where teamwork, communication, and leadership were put into action in an exciting outdoor setting. Back at camp, students continued working together during committee meetings before celebrating the day with an evening dance.

From outdoor adventures to strengthening friendships, each day at camp helps students build confidence, leadership skills, and lifelong connections. ⚡
