District Meetings

Sioux Valley Energy holds annual District Meetings to keep members informed and engaged in cooperative operations.

Members enjoy a complimentary meal followed by a business session, and in designated districts, they vote for their board representatives.

A series of 10 district meetings are held per year.

Sioux Valley Energy is looking for groups to serve food at its 2027 district meetings in February and March. Groups need about 10 volunteers each to serve the catered meal. Sioux Valley Energy will donate $500 to non-profit organizations that help.

Contact amy.voelker@siouxvalleyenergy.com before January 15 to register your group!
