Haywood EMC's newest Board of Director, Alan Israel, recently received the Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) 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 electrical utility business, new governance skills, and a solid 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

Join us in congratulating Mr. Israel in obtaining this certification!
