ELECTRICITY SINCE 1937
Alfalfa Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a voluntary organization open to all persons able to use our services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership. Each member has equal voting rights and has the opportunity to vote in any matter that may come before the Annual Meeting. AEC provides education and training for our members, elected representatives, managers, and employees so that they can contribute effectively to the development of our Cooperative. AEC helps develop our communities through policies accepted by our members.
7 Cooperative principles
Membership in a cooperative is open to all persons who can reasonably use its services and stand willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, regardless of race, religion, gender, or economic circumstances.
Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions. Elected representatives (directors/trustees) are elected from among the membership and are accountable to the membership. In primary cooperatives, members have equal voting rights (one member, one vote); cooperatives at other levels are organized in a democratic manner.
Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital remains the common property of the cooperative. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative; setting up reserves; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership.
Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control as well as their unique identity.
Education and training for members, elected representatives (directors/trustees), CEOs, and employees help them effectively contribute to the development of their cooperatives. Communications about the nature and benefits of cooperatives, particularly with the general public and opinion leaders, helps boost cooperative understanding.
By working together through local, national, regional, and international structures, cooperatives improve services, bolster local economies, and deal more effectively with social and community needs.
Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies supported by membership.

A LETTER FROM YOUR CEO
On behalf of the employees and Board of Directors at Alfalfa Electric Cooperative, we are proud to welcome 2025 with you, our valued member-owners. You are truly the heart of our cooperative, and your trust and partnership empower everything we do.
It’s hard to believe that 2024 has come to a close. This past year, under the theme “Energizing Our Neighbors,” we focused on becoming more involved in our communities, deepening our investment in the neighborhoods we call home, and living out our cooperative values more dynamically. Looking ahead, 2025 brings fresh opportunities, and we are thrilled to introduce this year’s theme: “Your Power, Your Voice, Our Community.” Through this theme, we aim to evolve how we connect, communicate, and collaborate with you, strengthening the bond between AEC and the communities we serve while ensuring that your needs remain at the center of everything we do.
“Your Power” is a reflection of the cooperative difference. Not only do you receive reliable electricity at some of the lowest rates in the country—you also have an essential role as a member-owner, shaping the future of AEC. Your power extends beyond your homes and businesses; it fuels our collective mission to build stronger communities and create a brighter future for all of us.
“Your Voice” reminds us just how valuable your input, feedback, and concerns are. At AEC, communication is the bridge to trust and satisfaction. That’s why we’re dedicated to enhancing transparency and expanding the ways we connect with you in 2025. Whether it’s through newsletters, digital platforms, or interactive forums, your voice guides us as we grow and innovate. We want to hear from you because your insights matter.
“Our Community” has always been central to our mission. At AEC, it’s about more than delivering electricity—it’s about improving lives. From supporting local initiatives to hosting engagement events, our commitment to fostering a thriving and connected community remains steadfast. When our members and communities succeed, so does our cooperative.
Together, we will make 2025 a year of connection and collaboration. We’re excited to share timely updates, provide valuable resources, and offer solutions that evolve with the changing needs of our members. But we can’t do it alone. Your involvement is vital to the success of our cooperative and our community. We encourage you to join us at this year’s community engagement.
On behalf of everyone at AEC, we extend our deepest gratitude for your trust, support, and partnership throughout 2024. We’re excited to continue what we’ve built together and work towards even greater achievements in 2025 and beyond.
With appreciation,
Greg Goetz, CEO/GM
