General Manager Dallas Sloan is retiring on April 2 after nearly 37 years of service at Barron Electric Cooperative. Dallas started his electric cooperative career at Barron Electric in 1984 as a Staff Assistant, responsible for staking line and mapping. He later served as Director of Member Services, then Director of Operations, before he was promoted to the General Manager position in 2008. Dallas led the cooperative through some challenging times including the Barron County tornado of 2017, the Derecho of 2019, which was the biggest storm in cooperative history, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dallas remarked, “I am very thankful to have worked for the members and with outstanding employees who always put the members first. The cooperative way is a great business model. I look forward to enjoying retirement with my family.” Barron Electric’s Board President Randy Cook remarked, “Dallas will long be remembered for advancing the cooperative’s technology, his strong legislative involvement, and his commitment to the community.”
