Delivering excellent service to our member-owners by providing safe and reliable energy solutions solidifies our purpose—our reason for existing.
The most critical asset of any organization is its people. Our industry requires qualified individuals with specific skills to manage the revenue and assets of a multimillion-dollar cooperative, ensure system reliability and safety, and to provide the highest quality service. Not only must cooperative management have the expertise to manage the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, they must be adept at finance, accounting, engineering, construction standards, disaster management, human resources, public relations, communications, and more.
We are not just your energy provider—we’re your neighbors who care about you and our communities. Leading in this manner gives Victory Electric the best chance to aspire to and achieve our vision of being a respected leader dedicated to implementing innovative ideas that fulfill the needs of those we serve.
