MWEC Directors Achieve Credential in
Today's Electric Utility Competencies

Three MWEC directors recently received the Credentialed Cooperative Director certificate from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).

An ever-changing business environment has imposed new demands on electric cooperative directors, requiring increased knowledge of changes in the electric utility business, new governance skills, and a solid knowledge of the cooperative principles and business model. MWEC has a commitment to work through the North Dakota Association for Rural Electric Cooperatives (NDAREC)  and NRECA to sharpen this body of knowledge for the benefit of their electric cooperative member-owners.

The NRECA Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) program requires attendance and demonstrated understanding of the basic competencies contained in five core courses:

• Director Duties and Liabilities
• Understanding the Electric Business
• Board Operations and Process
• Strategic Planning
• Financial Decision Making

Those directors recently completing this certification were Jennifer Wade (West District 1C, Williams County), Kyle DeTienne (East District 3C, Mountrail County), and Charlene Aubol (East District 3A, Mountrail County).
