Each fall, Pioneer’s storytellers pour over great ideas to create free resources celebrating cooperatives. Our 2026 National Co-op Month toolkit, Co-ops Are the Perfect Blend, pairs the perks of co-op membership with caffeine to generate community buzz this October.
The theme came from a StoryConnect conference brainstorming session, where several teams developed possible themes and presented them to attendees. Five Utility Pioneers bonded over a mutual love of caffeine and cooperation and developed the coffee campaign: Jerri Whitley, at Sunflower Electric; Jennifer Boeck and Kaia Hicks, from People’s Electric Co-op; and Amy Sorrels and Karesa Wells, from Cross Country. When they presented the idea to attendees, everyone perked up and voted for Pioneer to make it a reality.
In this year’s Co-op Month Toolkit, you’ll find everything you need for a full-bodied co-op celebration:
- General manager/CEO column
- Social media graphics and posts
- Perks of membership ad
- Payment portal graphics, both print and digital versions
- Campaign artwork
We hope you like this a latte!
