JALC: About WPPI + Advocacy

Joint Action Leadership Certification Program (JALC)
A new educational program for member utility leaders to become more acclimated to WPPI Energy, the joint action agency in which their utilities are member-owners. Join us to learn more about how our valuable partnership directly benefits your utility and community. The JALC is open to all member utility leaders and is geared toward utility managers and management staff. The JALC plus Board Certification is for those on the WPPI board as directors and alternates.

This session of the JALC program will give an overview of WPPI and advocacy in a two-part series.
