Transcript Quadro Communications Presentation February

QUADRO COMMUNICATIONS CO- OPERATIVE INC.
•
Quadro Communications Co-operative Inc. is one of thirty-nine independent telephone systems in
Canada. Quadro’s ILEC (independent local exchange carrier) territory serves a rural area of
approximately eight hundred kilometres in South-western Ontario, providing a variety of
telecommunications services to three and a half thousand customers.
•
Quadro ILEC customers reside in the four exchanges of Kirkton ,Granton, Sebringville and
Uniondale.
•
Quadro is now a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) which now provides
Phone & Internet Service to Lucan, Dublin, Mitchell, St. Columban, Stratford, St. Marys & London.
•
A very distinct feature of Quadro’s structure is that it is a Co-operative. Quadro customers own the
company and elect a governing board of directors to oversee activities within the company. These
directors are composed of existing Quadro customers. The Board of Directors are positioned
between the members and the management of the Co-operative. In this role the Board listens,
informs and advises. Its mandate includes the overall responsibility and authority for the operation
of the co-operative.
During 2010, the Board of Directors of Quadro adopted the following statements:
VISION:
QUADRO WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND INNOVATE, FULFILLING THE
EVOLVIONG NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
MISSION:
QUADRO WILL ENRICH OUR CUSTOMER’S EXPERIENCE WITH PERSONAL
SERVICE AND INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS.
VALUES STATEMENT:
QUADRO WILL CONTINUE TO HONOUR OUR LEGACY BY EXHIBITING
INTEGRITY & TRANSPARENCY IN EVERYTHING WE DO. OUR SERVICES WILL
BE RELIABLE AND INNOVATIVELY DELIVERED THROUGH OUR SKILLED AND
DEDICATED WORK FORCE.
