Wheat Belt Public Power District is pleased to recognize the recent accomplishments of board members Toni Blomenkamp and Marcus Milanuk, who have completed advanced certifications through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).

Blomenkamp earned the Board Leadership Certificate (BLC), which builds on the foundational Credentialed Cooperative Director program and includes 10 credits of advanced coursework focused on cooperative governance and industry issues.

Milanuk attained the Director Gold Credential (DGC)—the highest level of NRECA board certification. This credential signifies an ongoing commitment to education, requiring continued coursework every two years to maintain status.

As the electric utility landscape grows more complex, these certifications ensure that Wheat Belt PPD board members are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide the organization with insight, integrity and a strong commitment to cooperative and public power principles.

Congratulations to Toni and Marcus for their dedication to leadership and continued professional development!
