Aspire, a women’s resource group
Analytics in Action, a resource group for current and aspiring data and analytics professionals
New Connections, a resource group for new employees within their first year of service
EDGE, a resource group for racially/ ethnically diverse employees

The Veterans Engagement Team (VET), a resource group for military personnel and Veterans.

Culture of belonging

Lindsay, Supervisor, Transmission Planning

Jessica, New Connections

“Having been a part of New Connections for over four years, and now as the board chair, I have been able to participate in various initiatives for our new employees that foster connection and a culture of belonging at Black Hills Energy. I am incredibly grateful to be involved in the new employee experience and assist in efforts to anchor our employees to the company within their first year. Being a part of an ERG has been an excellent opportunity in my journey to build new skills and fulfill my personal and professional development goals. Black Hills Energy offers many ways to get involved and grow your career, and I highly recommend joining an ERG board to make meaningful connections, contribute to positive change, and enhance your overall experience and that of others.”

Renae, IT Financial Applications Manager

Corey, VET

“My name is Corey and I have been on the Veteran Engagement Team (VET) ERG for six years. What I have enjoyed about VET, is that we are focused on recruiting, retaining, and advocating for military members. I have been with Black Hills Energy for 15 years. It has been a great company to work for and I am excited that Black Hills Energy is a workplace of choice for military personal and veterans. I like the fact that Black Hills Energy has a creative and flexible environment. Black Hills Energy is like family, it is a place where everyone is welcome and takes care of each other.”

Maria, Senior Environmental Professional

Travis, EDGE

“My name is Travis. I have been with Black Hills Energy for about seven years. I am currently on the EDGE-ERG. I have served on the board since its inception in 2019. The thing I enjoy most about EDGE is that we are here to help guide tough or challenging conversations surrounding diversity, inclusion and belonging that might not ever be had. We are here to help and support all employees regardless of their background and identity. Personally, I want everyone to feel as welcomed and appreciated as I do working here at Black Hills Energy!"

Preston, PMIG

“One of the best things about Black Hills Energy is the variety of ways we can get involved. I've been a member of the Project Management Interest Group for almost a year now and am excited to continue into the future. From ERGs like Aspire and PMIG to groups like the Ambassadors and Toastmasters, there's truly something for everyone. These groups allow you to develop personal skills, contribute to organizational growth, or just meet people who share your passions. One of my favorite parts of being on the PMIG team has been connecting with others who share my interests and helping plan the ERG conference to spread that enthusiasm across the company. Programs and ERGs like these are part of why people are drawn to Black Hills Energy and stay for the long haul. It's clear that building a strong community is a top priority for the company and who doesn’t want to work in a place like that. If you're even slightly interested in one of these groups, I would encourage you to reach out and get involved. Even something as simple as just sitting in on a meeting can help you decide if it's something you'd enjoy. Everyone has to start somewhere!”

Chantel, Aspire

“Joining Aspire has been a life-changing experience for me. The incredible women I've connected with, from various backgrounds, have enriched both my professional and personal growth. The supportive and caring community here fuels my passion and commitment, making me feel truly valued and empowered. Black Hills Energy has given me a place to thrive in my career while balancing my roles as a mom and wife. I’m thankful for Aspire and the opportunities it has brought me!”

Brooklyn, Analytics in Action

“The employee resource groups (ERGs) at Black Hills Energy give employees a wide variety of communities to be a part of while also giving them the flexibility to be involved in whatever capacity they want to be. I have been serving on the Analytics in Action board since 2023. This ERG has given me the opportunity to branch out and collaborate with individuals across the company that I would not normally get to work with during my day-to-day job duties. We put on a 'Day of Data' event last year which attracted over 300 attendees! It was extremely fulfilling to see all of our hard work come together to create such a successful event.”
