WALLA WALLA-Columbia REA is proud to announce that Board Director Doug Logan has earned his Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) Certificate. The CCD is the first level of National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's (NRECA) three-part Director Education Program.

The Credentialed Cooperative Director program consists of five courses that focus on basic governance knowledge and the essential skills required of cooperative directors. Upon completion of all five CCD courses, directors are awarded the CCD Certificate by the NRECA. Once the CCD is completed, participants can pursue the Board Leadership Certificate, and ultimately, the Director Gold Certificate.

Doug Logan is entering his fourth year as a Columbia REA Board Director, having just been re-elected to a second term in April of this year.

"It has been a privilege to contribute to the prosperity and standard of living in Columbia, Walla Walla and northeast Umatilla counties through our work at Columbia REA over the past three years," says Doug.

"I look forward to continuing that contribution into the future."
