Wagner appointed to NARUC Executive Committee
Iowa Utilities Board Commissioner Nick Wagner has been appointed to the executive committee of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and will help oversee the organization’s overall direction in his new role.
Wagner’s current term on the Iowa Utilities Board extends through 2019. He also serves as the co-chair of the NARUC Washington Action Program, co-vice chair of the Committee on Critical Infrastructure and as a member of the Committee on Gas. Previously, he served on the NARUC task forces on Military Workforce Development and Natural Gas Access and Expansion.
“Commissioner Wagner makes an excellent addition to NARUC’s Executive Committee,” NARUC President John Betkoski said. “His experience on multiple NARUC committees, along with his extensive knowledge about energy regulation and his deep enthusiasm for NARUC’s mission, will be extremely valuable as we look for more ways to effectively engage our members.”
Prior to his appointment to the Iowa Utilities Board, Wagener served as director of quality management at the ESCO Group in Marion, Iowa. He also served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2008 to 2012.
“I am honored to join the NARUC Executive Committee,” Wagner said. “I look forward to working collaboratively with President Betkoski, the members of the executive committee, the board of directors and the NARUC staff, to continue improving the effectiveness of public utility regulation at a time where the utility sector is evolving.”
