"Resiliency to Serve"

One of our keystone member events is taking place this June, when we host our annual meeting for you, the members we proudly serve. We always look forward to this event because it's a great opportunity for our employees and directors to talk with our members and hear what's on their minds. 

Held at the McKenzie County Ag Expo, we hope you'll join us June 4, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., to take part in the future of your electric cooperative. We thank you in advance for getting involved and attending!

During the annual meeting, we'll share a few brief business updates on ongoing rebuild and expansion projects.. BUT we're going to have fun too! We will have activities for kids like a petting zoo, and inflatable bouncy houses. We will also have a free, home-cooked meal courtesy of the McKenzie County 4H clubs. 

Our core purpose and mission are to provide safe, reliable and affordable power. But as a co-op, we’re also motivated by service to our community, rather than profits. We hope you’ll exercise the benefits of your co-op membership and join us for the annual meeting on June 4. We look forward to seeing you!

Entertainment - Jessie Veeder

Jessie Veeder has been a symbol of folk music in the badlands of Western North Dakota since she released her first original album, This Road when she was only sixteen years old. It was an effort that sparked the interest of music enthusiasts and took her from performing at fairs and festivals around her home state to managing a national college and coffeehouse tour and recording her fifth original album in Nashville in 2015.

With unique and interestingly beautiful vocals, Veeder’s lyrics swell with references to her own life experiences growing up on a working cattle ranch in the rugged land of Western North Dakota. Veeder’s ability to captivate audiences with stories of her love for the landscape, the culture and the people of small-town America is what pulls at the heartstrings of audiences across the globe and made her original music such a success.   

Attend the annual meeting to hear Jessie perform from 5:30 - 6:30!
