Director Certificate

 

In this era of increased scrutiny of boards and directors, it is more important than ever for directors to understand their roles and responsibilities and to have the knowledge and skills to govern today’s cooperatives. NRECA’s Director Education program is specifically designed to address the learning needs of electric cooperative directors. Training courses offered address board governance, financial decision-making, strategic planning, and current and emerging issues.

 

The Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) curriculum consists of five courses designed to provide basic knowledge and skills required of cooperative directors. The CCD Certificate is earned by attending all five required courses and successfully completing a learning assessment for each. Directors who do not wish to take the learning assessment will receive a certificate of attendance, recognizing their participation in each course.

 

CCD certification is earned by completing the following courses:

 

	2600	Director Duties and Liabilities
	2610	Understanding the Electric Business
	2620	Board Operations and Process
	2630	Strategic Planning
	2640	Financial Decision Making
