than words

� Keeping staff’s knowledge and skills updated so they

can face current and future challenges

� Retiring workforce/succession issues� Attracting and retaining new hires

� Finding and replacing key upper-management staff who retire

� If you promote from within, then your support staff is gone

� Questioning whether to share management staff or merge with

neighboring co-op

� Not replacing everyone because of the economy, loss of

membership, and loss of revenue

Workforce Issues

Co-ops facing:

� Keeping staff skills

up to date

� Retiring workforce

Why NRECA courses are different:� Programs build from one to another

� Focus on the cooperative business model

� Uses best practices from research

� Course exercises are co-op specific

� The higher the program = higher-level issues

� Information is up to date
