Bush and Owens Earn Director Gold Certifications

Back to Light Flashes

Two members of West Florida Electric Cooperative’s (WFEC) Board of Trustees, Randy Bush and George Clayton Owens, recently earned their Director Gold recertification from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).

“The Director Gold credential is the highest level of certification offered to electric co-op trustees and reflects a strong commitment to ongoing professional development. To maintain this distinguished status, trustees must complete at least three continuing education credits from NRECA’s approved programs within a two-year period following their most recent credential award. These programs focus on advanced governance, industry trends, policy development, and strategic leadership,” said Penny Bryan, VP of Administrative Services. 80403001

By achieving recertification, Bush and Owens demonstrate their dedication to staying informed on the issues impacting electric cooperatives and the communities they serve.

Their continued pursuit of education and leadership excellence ensures that WFEC members are represented with integrity, knowledge and a forward-thinking approach to cooperative governance.
