What’s a co-op?
As a co-operative, we are fully focused on serving our member-owners—not outside stakeholders. Our objective is to furnish you with high-quality communications services at competitive prices, which will ensure long-term viability of our business.
From our Article of Incorporation and By-Laws: It shall be the policy of Dickey Rural Telephone Cooperative to furnish telephone service to its member and non-members at the lowest possible cost, consistent with such sound financial and management practices which will insure adequate revenue to maintain and operate its properties and retire its indebtedness.
Rooted & Rising
The program brings together the cooperative’s grants, sponsorships, donations, in-kind support, and employee volunteerism under one values-driven initiative serving multiple service areas.
Community scholarships
As a co-op, we do what we can to help our community thrive. Each year, DRN ReadiTech offers multiple scholarships to graduating seniors who attend schools throughout our territory.
