Cooperative Services Alliance

The Cooperative Services Alliance was formed in 1999 as a collaborative effort between East River Electric and its member systems to work together to reduce costs, share resources, and gain efficiencies. The Alliance is composed of all East River member systems and SDREA, as well as East River. The goal of the Alliance is to proceed as a single unit with the ability to individualize as appropriate. Each member is given the choice to participate in a project according to their individual needs.

The Alliance has had many successes with several innovative projects, including:

Recruitment Advertising
Employee Assistance Program
Computer-Based Safety Training
Group purchase of transformers
Group purchase of poles
Annual vehicle inspections
Pole inspections and treatment
MSDS software
Key accounts
Stray voltage

Innovative ideas and suggestions are brought forward by the working groups of the cooperative for discussion and implementation.

East River serves as the administrator.
