Under his leadership, Roanoke Electric has been a two-time recipient of NRECA’s Community Service Network Award, and Curtis is a past winner of the J. C. Brown Leadership Award.

This year Curtis Wynn is coming to the end of his two-year term as NRECA President. When he took office, he set out to focus on how co-ops can navigate the rapid pace of change in the industry. However, this platform took on new meaning in 2020 with a heightened focus on racial inequality in America. In the December 14th episode of Along Those Lines, NRECA’s podcast, Wynn discusses diversity, equity and inclusion in the co-op workforce and reflects on how the electric cooperative industry is managing change and innovation.
