Wanted: Your Ideas via the Pioneer Pulse Survey!

As your communications co-op, Pioneer Utility Resources leadership asks all members and clients to take a survey to help strengthen content and ensure the support and solutions we offer stay relevant.  

Share your ideas and insights in the Pioneer Pulse! The survey closes April 18, 2025, and results will be included in Pioneer’s 2025 Cooperative Member Meeting on May 8, 2025.

“The most successful cooperatives focus on capturing the diverse voices and unique needs of their memberships,” Pioneer Senior Vice President of Member Solutions Anne Harvey says. “We are preparing the next iteration of our strategic plan, and hearing directly from our membership via this survey is the first — and most important — step in the process.” 

Some of our favorite stories are shared over campfires. As a thank-you for taking the Pioneer Pulse, we’re giving away one Pioneer-branded Solo Stove to a lucky Utility Pioneer who shares her or his ideas on the survey. 

Take the Pioneer Pulse 

The 35-question survey is open to all members and clients of Pioneer, Efficiency Services Group and NewsData. Utility Pioneers are asked to:  

• Rate current editorial content, channels and topics.  
• Share communication, energy efficiency and/or broadband challenges.
• Identify new utility needs and suggest solutions. 

The survey results help Pioneer’s leadership team identify utility needs and measure the value of the support offered by the communications co-op. This is the third Pioneer Pulse survey. The first, conducted in 2021, set a benchmark for member satisfaction and helped guide the redesign of Pioneer’s award-winning website content strategy at pioneer.coop. 

“We often help our members gather feedback from their consumers,” Anne says. “Pioneer’s using this same proven process to fine-tune our strategy and enhance satisfaction, program awareness and communication offerings.” 

The survey is open through April 18. After the survey closes, one person’s name will be drawn to win a Pioneer-branded Solo Stove. The winner will be announced on Pioneer’s LinkedIn channel, linkedin.com/company/utilitypioneers.
