Go Behind the Switch with Video
So much goes on behind the switch at your local electric cooperative. For a comprehensive look into your Co-op, view our Behind the Switch video. We are also happy to announce the third in our People Behind the Switch video series - 'An Office Story'. You can watch the entire award winning video series at the links below. We hope this series leaves our member-owners with a good understanding of what we face, the people who work hard every day on their behalf, and a sense of pride in all we accomplish.

Upcoming Events
October is National Co-op Month!
CVEA is celebrating the cooperative difference!
Voluntary & Open Membership – Membership in a cooperative is open to all people, regardless of race, religion, gender, or economic circumstances.
Democratic Member Control – Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and decision-making. Directors are elected among membership and are accountable to them.
Member’s Economic Participation - Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative.
Autonomy & Independence - Cooperatives are autonomous organizations controlled by their members.
Education, Training, & Information - Education and training for members, elected directors, CEOs, and employees help them effectively contribute to the development of their cooperative.
Cooperation among Cooperatives – By working together, cooperatives improve services, bolster local economies, and deal more effectively with social and community needs.
Concern for Community – Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies supported by the membership.
Join us in celebrating National Co-op Month at the CVEA Co-op Month Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, October 11 in Glennallen and Saturday, October 18 in Valdez! Stay tuned for a trivia contest later on this October to wrap up National Co-op Month!
