It’s good to belong.
2025 National Co-op Month!

This month is time to celebrate YOU as a member-owner!

You are more than a customer at Golden West. You are a member-owner in the cooperative if you subscribe to phone or internet service in an area where Golden West provides phone service.

You help elect a board of directors who guides the outcomes of important projects. When your co-op performs well financially, portions of your previous payments are allocated and eventually returned to you as capital credits.

National Co-op Month is a time to celebrate the vital role co-ops play locally. Cooperatives provide jobs, promote local spending, and advocate for members, and invest in the communities they serve through donations, grants, and scholarships.

Thank you to all who entered to win one of our three amazing prizes this year!
  • Grand prize winner of one FREE year of internet is Sharon Michelson of Enning.
  • Second prize winner of a Yeti Cooler is Marlon Silvis of Hartford.
  • Third prize winner of $150 bill credit is Jeffery Stone of Winner.
