Nominations for the American Public Power Association’s Policy Makers Council are being accepted through November 28.
Leaders of public power utilities can nominate members, who are either elected or appointed officials, on the governing authorities of public power distribution utilities, including mayors, city council members, and elected or appointed board members.
The PMC meets twice a year in Washington, D.C. during the APPA Legislative Rally in February and at a separate PMC-only meeting in July to participate in meetings with elected representatives and congressional staff to advance APPA’s legislative and regulatory agendas.
Most recently, the PMC visited Washington, D.C. in mid-July as part of their annual fly-in to advocate on behalf of public power. Approximately 30 members of the PMC held meetings with their congressional delegations and advocated on public power’s priority issues including addressing climate change, energy infrastructure permitting reform, financing infrastructure investments, grid security, and addressing the supply chain crisis.
To nominate a member of a utility’s governing body to the PMC or learn more about the process, contact Steve Medved, APPA’s Government Relations Manager, at: smedved@publicpower.org.
