The America's Electric Cooperatives Advocacy Classic kicks off the CEO Close-Up Conference in Palm Desert, California. Join fellow CEOs and sponsors on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, to play 18 holes of golf.
Due to the popularity and scale of the tournament, participation is limited to co-op CEOs and company representatives of tournament sponsors on a first come, first served basis. All sponsorships are pending until confirmed by NRECA. Confirmed sponsors will be officially notified of their participation via email upon receipt of a submitted sponsorship commitment form.
Please note, if a cooperative is currently the recipient of FEMA funding, or if the cooperative is planning to apply for FEMA funding, and if the cooperative has hired, or may hire, your entity to perform work covered by the FEMA funding, then federal procurement rules prohibit you from giving certain types of gifts to the cooperative’s officers, employees or agents. This may include participation (i.e. the round of golf) at our upcoming tournament. If you believe these circumstances and rules apply to your entity, please notify NRECA and staff can reassign your entity’s foursome. If you are uncertain whether these rules apply to you, please contact your entity’s attorney. Please also note that all prizes, refreshments, and gifts at the tournament are provided directly by NRECA to tournament participants, with financial support or donations from tournament sponsors.
