Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community and help your neighbors during times of need? Consider serving on the Benton Utilities SHARE Board.

Sometimes, an unexpected hardship can make it difficult for a family, senior citizen, or individual to keep up with essential utility expenses. The Benton Utilities SHARE Program was created to provide a helping hand during those difficult times.

The program is made possible through the generosity of Benton Utilities customers who voluntarily contribute to SHARE. Those contributions are used to assist fellow citizens who are struggling to pay their utility bills.

At the heart of this program is the SHARE Board Committee—a group of community-minded citizens entrusted with helping ensure these funds reach individuals and families who truly need assistance.

The SHARE Board operates independently of Benton Utilities and is responsible for reviewing applications and determining which applicants receive assistance through the SHARE Program. Serving on the board is an opportunity to make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of people right here in our community.

We’re Looking for Caring, Community-Minded Citizens

Benton Utilities is currently accepting resumes from citizens interested in serving on the SHARE Board. Committee members must reside within the City of Benton.

There is no salary associated with the position; however, expenses incurred while conducting SHARE Board business may be eligible for reimbursement.

For those who believe in neighbors helping neighbors, serving on the SHARE Board offers a rewarding opportunity to put that belief into action. Your time, judgment, compassion, and commitment to the community can help ensure that assistance is available when a Benton resident needs it most.

Positions will remain open until filled.

Interested citizens are encouraged to submit a resume and letter of petition to:

Todd Pedersen, General Manager
Benton Utilities
1827 Dale
Benton, AR 72015

Resumes and letters may also be delivered in person to the address above.
