Ambassador Program
The Ambassador Program is a grassroots organization designed to educate our members about Valley Electric Association, Inc., the electric utility industry and enlist support and involve
ment. VEA Ambassadors work directly with the staff on policies, procedures and programs; enlist member support in shaping policy; and learn how legislation affects the cooperative and its members.
Any Valley Electric cooperative member may join the Ambassador program. The Ambassadors meet quarterly and the various committees meet as needed. After joining the program, Ambassadors may particpate in any of the following organized committees:
-
Executive Committee - 2 co-chairs and a secretary elected by the Ambassadors to provide leadership.
-
Bylaw Committee - Annually review co-op bylaws, recommend changes or updates to VEA's Board of Directors.
-
Scholarship Committee - Annually reviews the program and selects scholarship winners from qualified candidates.
-
Legislative Committee - Works with our legislative consulant to investigate legislative issues that may affect the cooperative.
