Brad Patton, Wayne Zollars and Roy Van Atta from The Energy Cooperative Board of Directors recently received their Credentialed Cooperative Director Certification. This accomplishment is a board leadership certificate from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) that includes numerous hours of training surrounding five core courses.
In an ever-changing business environment with new demands on electric cooperative directors, increased knowledge of changes in the electric utility business is a must. New governance skills and a solid knowledge of cooperative principles and business models are essential to maintaining a strong cooperative. Ohio cooperatives are committed to working through Ohio's Electric Cooperatives (OEC) and NRECA to sharpen this body of knowledge for the benefit of their cooperative members.
