Cooperatives are guided by The Seven Cooperative Principles, one of which is Concern for Community. Commitment to both the communities and members we serve has been at the heart of Vermont Electric Cooperative’s core values since VEC was founded in 1938. Vermont Electric strives to help better our communities by providing community, economic and educational opportunities to our members.

Many Co-op employees have a long history of giving back to the communities they live and work in. Whether as little league coaches, volunteer firefighters, Cub Scout leaders or as Board members for other companies, VEC employees are involved in civic organizations throughout communities in northern Vermont.
