Valley Telco is managed by a General Manager, and overseen by a
board of 9 member-elected directors, including one from each
telephone exchange. Valley Telco not only provides state-of-the-art
telecommunication services, but also provides cable tv &
Internet services via our wholly owned subsidiary Valley Cable
& Satellite Communications.
Valley Telco is a member-owner
of SDN Communications of
Sioux Falls, SD, founded in 1989 by a group of SD independent
telephone companies to provide our customers with a greater choice
of long distance service provider. Through SDN, the possibility of
becoming our own long distance provider was realized with the
formation of "Express Communications" in 1992 - which our
own customers recognize as Valley Long Distance (CIC 0865).
Valley Telco is
an active participant in the communities in which we serve:
employing local people, providing a local number to call for
customer needs - answered by a live person, and our employees are
members of local organizations including: volunteer fire and
ambulance departments, past city board members, church
organizations, and more.
