Every financial professional in an electric co-op today should be able

on routine work processes, and more on transitions that incorporate
constant innovation and imagination to assist co-ops with the
challenges and changes required for the future. Hear Jim Carroll, as he
takes a look at ‘what comes next’ for the co-op financial professional.
