Develop talent and hone skills at TEC events throughout the year.
The association offers conferences on leadership and professional development for cooperative boards of directors, managers and key staff. In addition, TEC workshops and classes, both in-person and online, cover multiple aspects of the co-op business, from people skills to asset management.

C.O.R.E Training Program
TEC’s Co-op Regional Education program provides TEC members both convenience and cost savings by creating on-site learning opportunities for any sized group at co-op offices across the state. Perfect for all-employee trainings, the C.O.R.E. program is flexible and covers a variety of relevant topics.
The TEC Annual Meeting always provides a great opportunity for cooperative leaders from across the state to stay connected. Every year, I take something of value back to my cooperative from this event. With the hard work and innovation the folks at TEC put into these conferences, I'm excited to experience this year's digital format. Blaine Warzecha General Manager Victoria EC
