About Us
Vernon County Energy District is a non-profit organization driven by a passionate and dedicated group of volunteers. Our mission is to help the citizens of Vernon County achieve energy independence, reduce costs, improve their quality of life, and build a healthier, more resilient future.
As we grow and prepare to elevate our impact, we are seeking a dynamic and
resourceful Business and Program Operations Manager to join our team. This position will play a pivotal role in ensuring the organization operates efficiently and sustainably while advancing its mission.
Our work has contributed to climate and social impact wins such as supporting clients to create more comfortable and resilient homes, drive down energy use, and keep more money in their pockets. We aim for a positive transformation by making a systemic impact rather than just incremental changes.
Our Mission
Our mission is to retain energy dollars in Vernon County, promote the efficient and wise use of energy, and encourage the transition to locally owned and produced renewable energy sources.
Our Vision
“100% Locally-Owned, Locally-Produced Renewable Energy”
