Voluntary & Open Membership

Every Co-op has voluntary and open membership, which means that everyone who is part of the co-op is voluntarily a member of it. It also welcomes anyone and everyone who is willing to accept the responsibility of being a member and use the services it provides.

At Valley Electric, the mission of improving the lives of the people and communities it serves is at the heart of everything the Co-op does. This includes cultivating our communities to increase economic opportunities and strengthening our neighborhoods. Having voluntary and open membership allows anyone who would like to get services the ability to do so, promoting growth in the communities.
