Randolph’s commitment to its membership base and the communities it serves extends far beyond the telecom arena. RTMC directors, management, and staff have maintained their resolve to be active corporate citizens in the counties the co-op serves, to stay involved in local community affairs, and to target contribution dollars to a variety of worthwhile civic and charitable causes. RTMC and its subsidiaries annually award $9,000 in scholarship funds to students in area high schools, sponsor art contests for senior art students, and now provide scholarships for second-year college students, as well as a summer intern program. The Board of Directors considers such scholarships an investment in the region’s future.
