Reed Bailey from South Central Power Company recently received a renewal of his Director Gold Credential certificate from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
Bailey, who serves as assistant secretary for the cooperative’s board of trustees, represents District 5, which is the area that includes Amanda, Carroll, Lancaster, Lithopolis, Pleasantville, Royalton and Sugar Grove.
Director Gold Credential (DGC)
The Director Gold Credential recognizes directors who have already earned their Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) and Board Leadership Certificate (BLC) and who wish to continue to learn throughout their service on the board.
The Director Gold certificate is geared toward directors who are committed to continuing their education and who desire a tangible credential that reinforces their stature as part of an experienced and educated group of directors. Director Gold also demonstrates to co-op members those directors’ ongoing commitment to advancing their knowledge and performing their fiduciary duty to the best of their ability.
To renew the Director Gold certificate, directors must earn three credits every two years.
