NPEC director obtains National Recognition Certificate

Director Lori Carlson from Northern Plains Electric Cooperative (NPEC) recently achieved the Board Leadership Certificate (BLC) from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).

The Board Leadership Program is an advanced training series that delves into key aspects of the energy industry and board governance. Topics covered include risk management, power supply, governance, financials, communications and policy development. To earn the BLC credential, directors must complete 10 credits in these specialized courses, which emphasize critical thinking, open discussions and case studies to equip directors with the skills needed to navigate today’s challenges.

The certificate program provides advanced learning opportunities to cooperative board members who have already completed NRECA’s Credentialed Cooperative Director Certificate (CCD).

“Continuing education is essential in today’s evolving energy landscape, and we appreciate Lori’s commitment to gaining the knowledge and skills that will benefit our members,” said General Manager Seth Syverson.

As the electric utility industry evolves, cooperative directors must stay informed about new developments, governance strategies and cooperative business principles. NPEC applauds Carlson for her commitment to serving our cooperative and its members.

Carson was presented the certificate by NPEC board President Tracy Boe, at the February board meeting.

Congratulations, Director Carlson!
