The Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC) exists to serve the 16 member-owned electric cooperatives in the three-state area. Thirteen co-ops in Virginia, two in Maryland and one in Delaware are members of the Association. Association member cooperatives serve more than 2 million people in the three states through more than 700,000 meters in Virginia, nearly 225,000 meters in Maryland and more than 100,000 meters in Delaware. The purpose of the Association is to provide services that can best be performed as a group effort on a state or regional basis. Activities generally fall into one of four work groups: the Communications and Public Relations Department; the Governmental Affairs Department; the Safety and Training Services Department and the Educational Services Department.

The 20th #GaffnGo Rodeo was a record-breaking success!
Last year, a team of 19 volunteer line workers from 10 Virginia, Maryland and Delaware #cooperatives spent nearly three weeks in Guatemala, bringing #electricity, for the first time, to the #rural village of Santa Isabel. Among the 19 volunteers was the first-ever female #lineworker to participate in an NRECA International project (NRECA International). CFC and NCSC were proud to support this effort with grants totaling $70,000 to help cover trip expenses. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eGuQJgc3
