United in Purpose, Building Tomorrow
Annual Meeting Recap

Thanks to all who attended Sangre de Cristo Electric Association’s (SDCEA) annual meeting at our warehouse in Westcliffe on June 24.
This year’s theme was United in Purpose, Building Tomorrow. The morning included children’s activities and safety and educational displays for members, followed by the board’s abbreviated regular monthly meeting and lunch.
Featured speakers included Jon Beyer, SDCEA CEO; Sandra Attebery, SDCEA Board Chair; Sarah Crites, SDCEA CFO; and Blake Bennetts, SDCEA Board Treasurer.
Tri-State Generation & Transmission Chief Commercial Officer Lisa Tiffin gave the keynote address.
This year’s prize drawings included 2 $150 gift cards provided by Westcliffe Meats, a $250 gift card provided by Tri-State Generation & Transmission, and a Yeti Cooler provided by Lowry Excavating. There were plenty of other giveaways, bill credits, and other drawings throughout the event. Many thanks to our business partners who donated these items.
