Leadership

As a locally owned electric cooperative, our leadership team is dedicated to serving our members with integrity, accountability, and a strong connection to the communities we live and work in. We prioritize dependable service, careful financial management, and ongoing investment in our system to ensure we meet today’s needs while preparing for the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our leadership team for questions, feedback, or assistance.

Our Commitment to the Cooperative Principles

As a member-owned electric cooperative, our operations and decisions are guided by the 7 Cooperative Principles. These principles aren’t just statements—they are reflected in how we serve our members every day:

  • Voluntary and Open Membership – We provide electric service to all eligible members within our service area without discrimination.
  • Democratic Member Control – Members elect our board of directors and have a voice in the direction of the cooperative.
  • Members’ Economic Participation – Margins are returned to members through capital credits, and rates are set with affordability in mind.
  • Autonomy and Independence – We operate independently, guided by the needs and interests of our members.
  • Education, Training, and Information – We provide resources and programs to keep members, employees, and directors informed and prepared.
  • Cooperation Among Cooperatives – We work with other electric cooperatives and industry partners to strengthen service and reliability.
  • Concern for Community – We support local initiatives and invest in the communities we serve.
