Spencer Locklear, LREMC Board Director, was recognized for receiving his NRECA Board Leadership Certification.

NRECA provides various levels of training for directors. The NRECA Board Leadership Program is the second part of the director education program. It requires completing a series of courses focusing in greater depth on specific industry and governance issues. These include risk management, power supply, parliamentary procedure, and technology and policy development.

Directors must first obtain the Credentialed Cooperative Director Certificate and then complete additional training for the advanced Board Leadership Certification.
