With NRECA, you can transform from a technical expert to a strategic leader.
In today’s cooperative landscape, technology leaders are no longer simply “the tech person” in the room—they are strategic partners, key decision-makers and drivers of innovation. Yet many IT and OT professionals remain sidelined from high-level discussions, lacking a true seat at the table.
This immersive program builds your enterprise mindset and equips you with the strategy, financial acumen, and leadership skills to move from operational support to strategic influencer—someone who proposes, shapes, and leads high-value initiatives that guide the direction of your cooperative. Through exploration of critical topics like digital transformation and innovation, governance and compliance, financial management, communication and negotiation and building executive presence, you’ll gain the ability to lead confidently across both technology and operations.
Learn from distinguished university faculty and seasoned experts how to:
- Align IT and OT strategy with your cooperative’s vision and goals.
- Drive digital transformation and innovation across departments.
- Strengthen governance, compliance, and financial management capabilities.
- Build executive presence to influence decisions at the highest levels.
- Leverage emerging technologies like AI and data analytics, and automation to stay competitive.
Whether you are an experienced IT manager seeking to refresh your perspective, an OT leader ensuring reliable and safe operations, a professional with no prior leadership training, or even a one-person department balancing daily operations with boardroom responsibilities, this program will help you:
- Earn a stronger voice in strategic discussions that affect both operations and technology.
- Step confidently into leadership roles where IT and OT are central to the cooperative’s future.
- Contribute to succession planning and leadership continuity in mission-critical functions.
Come for the learning—leave with the strategic insight, leadership tools, and executive presence needed to lead not only technology or operations—but the future of your cooperative.
