ECLIPSE—ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE
LEADERS

WECA’s new program offering, ECLIPSE (An extension of ECL, which stands for Electric Cooperative Leaders) is geared toward professional development of staff members who already excel and demonstrate that leadership spark, regardless of position. You know who they are....the ones people rely on and go to for answers, guidance, or direction. The ones who prove respect is earned. They lead by example, even if they are not, officially, leadership. This course offering will help develop and grow those skills to make great employees even better, and well-positioned for leadership roles.
 
This offering includes core classes plus electives, all geared at elevating skills to grow well-rounded leaders. There will also be online options. ECLIPSE enrollees will be challenged to expand their professional skills to make the most of their potential now, and in the future. Attendees will be recognized at future WECA annual meetings for their ECLIPSE course completion, and the leadership skills they developed.
 
Attendees of ECLIPSE will gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of electric cooperative leadership, from the qualities and behaviors of strong leaders to communications, human resources, finance, conflict resolution, and more. Elective offerings will help hone skills in areas such as public speaking, legislative activity, change management, and more.
