CEO February Message - 2022

For the shortest month of the year, February is packed with holidays like Presidents’ Day and Valentine’s Day and to a few lesser known “national” days like National Tater Tot Day and even National Tortilla Chip Day

’d like to recommend another national holiday and this one is not just for February. For Hill County Electric Cooperative (HCE), every day is Cooperative Member Day. Here are few reasons we love serving our members:

The co-op wouldn’t exist without our members. HCE exists to serve you, our members. Members are the reason we were created in 1945.

HCE is part of the communities we serve. Commitment to Community is an essential core value at HCE. HCE trustees, management and employees are part of the communities we serve. Living and working here makes our commitment to our communities even more important to the whole HCE family.

Supporting our youth. HCE provides opportunities for our local students including five scholarship and the chance to win a trip of a lifetime to Washington DC. Visit our website at www.hcelectric. com to check out the scholarships available under the Community tab.

HCE’s trustees are members. Our trustees live and work in the areas they serve. They represent members from the different districts in our service area and make decisions to lead HCE into the future. Thank you, Shane, Leslie, Nick, Gerald, and Trevor for your dedication to serving your fellow members.

You help us. HCE’s members are great. We do our best to avoid outages, but sometimes Mother Nature has different ideas. We appreciate our members reporting power interruptions. You understand and are patient as our crews work to restore power safely. Our electric crews always put their safety and the safety of our members first.
