WE BELIEVE: That rural families in rural enterprises are a balancing force in the social and political structure that is vital to the stability, preservation and improvement of representative democratic government, of an efficient and economic productive system and of a satisfying world society; That the individually owned and operated farm is essential to the preserva- tion and enrichment of the private enterprise system; That people living in rural areas cannot successfully compete with other segments of economic structure in maintaining and improving the standard of living unless rural America does effectively organize its economic and social forces; That cooperative principles and techniques are the best ways and means for the rural people to continuously achieve these ends. Touchstone Energy® Four Core Values u Integrity u Innovation u Accountability u Commitment to Community STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The South Dakota Rural Electric Association, established in 1942, exists to serve our members. SDREA operates on the premise that, by pooling resources, members can receive services through SDREA more cost-effectively and ef- ficiently than they do on their own. We believe: 1. That we exist because of our members. We continually evaluate our ser- vices and funding to ensure they are meeting our members’ needs, while acknowledging that those needs vary and may be dictated by ongoing or emerging issues.
