The Director Certification Program (DCP) provides participants with information for improving skills used in fulfilling their roles as cooperative directors. The four phases cover cooperative principles and practices; roles and responsibilities of directors; directors’ legal obligations; long-range strategic planning; understanding and using financial statements; and management evaluation and compensation.

DCP is conducted annually in January. The next offering will be January 7-8, 2020 at the Younes Center in Kearney.  Each phase is a day-long program with two phases offered each day in separate rooms (Phases 1 and 3 on January 7; and Phases 2 and 4 on January 8). Check back in October 2019 for the registration form and the 2019/20 education booklet with more details.
