SECO Energy Trustee Marty Proctor Earns Highest NRECA Accreditation
SECO Energy is proud to announce that Trustee Marty Proctor, who represents members in District 8, has earned the Director Gold Credential (DGC) from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). The Director Gold Credential represents the highest level of educational achievement available to electric cooperative Trustees.
“I am extremely pleased to announce that Trustee Proctor has achieved the highest level of Trustee education from the NRECA – Gold Status. This is a significant accomplishment as he completed this advanced education within two years being elected to represent SECO Energy’s District 8 members,” stated SECO Energy’s Board of Trustees President and District 3 Trustee Gerald Anderson. “In this short time, Trustee Proctor has become a knowledgeable and active participant in Board governance – representing not only his District but all SECO members.”
“I would be remiss if I did not recognize that all nine SECO Energy Board of Trustees have earned the Gold-level education certificates,” added President Anderson. “Nationwide, SECO Energy is one of only fourteen out of more than 780 electric cooperatives to achieve the distinction of 100% Gold-level Board education.”
The Director Gold Credential is awarded to Trustees who complete a rigorous series of advanced courses focused on cooperative governance, financial oversight, strategic planning, and emerging challenges within the energy industry. After earning the credential, trustees must continue participating in ongoing education to maintain their Director Gold status.
“Trustee education is a key component to SECO Energy’s success,” stated SECO Energy CEO Curtis Wynn. “In a short amount of time, Mr. Proctor has proven to be a valuable member of SECO Energy’s Board and his commitment to our members is truly admirable. I look forward to continuing to work with SECO’s Board to ensure our success for years to come.”
“Once again, congratulations to Trustee Proctor – and to our entire Board of Trustees – for this remarkable accomplishment. Every SECO Energy Trustee has now earned their Director Gold Credential,” added President Anderson. “This outstanding achievement reflects the Board’s strong commitment to leadership, governance excellence, and service to our members.”
“I am extremely honored to serve as the District 8 Trustee on SECO Energy’s Board of Trustees and will continue to lead with purpose in the best interest of SECO members and the communities we serve,” said District 8 Trustee Marty Proctor.
