SECO Energy Trustee Mike Muffett Earns Director Gold Credential
SECO Energy Board of Trustees District 6 Trustee Mike Muffett has successfully completed the requirements to earn the Director Gold Credential (DGS) from the National Rural Electric Cooperatives Association (NRECA).
According to the NRECA, the DGC recognizes directors/trustees who desire a tangible credential that demonstrates their ongoing commitment to advancing their knowledge and performing their fiduciary duty to the best of their ability. The DGC offers a continuing education path for directors/trustees beyond the Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) and Board Leadership Certificate (BLC).
SECO Energy is a not-for-profit electric cooperative operated for and owned by its members. SECO’s nine-member Board of Trustees consists of members who live in SECO’s service area. Trustees are elected to oversee the governance of the cooperative. Each Trustee on SECO Energy’s Board is elected by the members who reside in his/her District. Collectively, the Trustees are responsible for establishing, reviewing and revising corporate policies to ensure that SECO continues to preserve reliable, affordable service for all members.
Trustee Muffett resides in Summerfield and has been a SECO Energy member since 1984. Mr. Muffett was elected to the SECO Energy Board of Trustees in 2020.
Trustee Muffett stated, “I am grateful for the education path provided by the NRECA to increase my knowledge of electric cooperatives and the not-for-profit business model. Serving the members who reside in District 6 and the SECO membership as a whole is an honor. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our local communities through my work on SECO’s Board.”
CEO Curtis Wynn extended his congratulations to Trustee Muffett stating, “Congratulations, Mr. Muffett, on achieving the NRECA’s Director Gold Credential. Following the educational path established by the NRECA is quite the accomplishment. Thank you for your Board service and your commitment to our members and communities.”
