EnergyUnited Board Member Receives Director Gold Credential

STATESVILLE, N.C. – Cheryl Wright, one of three board members representing EnergyUnited’s third district, recently received the Director Gold Credential certificate from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).

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.

“As the largest electric cooperative in North Carolina, EnergyUnited is committed to leveraging educational programs and professional development opportunities that facilitate continuous improvement across the organization,” said Thomas Golden, chief executive officer of EnergyUnited.  “I congratulate Cheryl on this incredible accomplishment, which is a clear reflection of her dedication to the cooperative and our shared pursuit of continuous improvement.”

For a director to earn the Director Gold certificate, they must have already earned the CCD and BLC and earn three additional credits from the BLC series of courses. Unlike the CCD and BLC certificates, Director Gold includes a continuing education requirement which calls for directors to earn three credits of approved course work and/or conferences every two years to maintain their Director Gold status.
