Increased Exposure

NRECA Associate Membership Directory
Each Associate Member is included in the annual Network Services/Associate Membership Directory, published at the beginning of each year. Each listing includes a brief description of your company’s products and services, contact information and your company logo. The directory is distributed to all cooperative CEOs and nearly 4,000 key cooperative staff.

Free Link from NRECA’s Associate Member Home Page
The NRECA Associate Member web site is a great resource that co-ops turn to for the latest products and services. Here, we will include your company’s listing — by level of membership and by business category — along with a link to your site.

NRECA Mailing List Opportunities
Promote your company’s latest product, service or technology by taking advantage of the opportunity to request the use of the NRECA cooperative mailing list. Simply submit a request — designating your target audience — along with a sample mail piece for approval. Each mailing list is for a one-time use only.

Annual RE Magazine Buyer’s Guide
Published each year in the May issue of RE Magazine, the Buyer’s Guide is the only purchasing guide in the industry designed specifically for electric cooperatives. It provides a complete listing of manufacturers and their products and/or services by category, including contact names, addresses and telephone numbers. Each Associate Member has an opportunity to be listed in the Buyer’s Guide with an Associate Membership designation.
