Winslow named to NARUC board post

Delaware Public Service Commission Chairman Dallas Winslow has accepted an appointment to the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) board of directors.

Winslow said he was honored to be chosen for the post and is looking forward to working diligently on behalf of NARUC. He is slated to serve a four-year term ending Oct. 31, 2022.

The NARUC board consists of 20 members plus the Association’s President, the First and Second Vice Presidents, and each Past-President, who is still an active NARUC member. The Chair of each standing committee is also a member of the Board.

The Board oversees the Association’s general and financial functions and approves resolutions that serve as the Association’s policy.

The NARUC, which was founded in 1999, is a non-profit organization dedicated to representing state public service commissions who regulate utilities that provide essential services such as energy, telecommunications, power, water, and transportation, officials said.

Winslow was initially appointed to the Delaware Public Service Commission in March 2005 and re-appointed in June 2015. Gov. Jack Markell named him chairman in July 2012.

He has contributed 30 years of service with Delaware as Chief of Legal Services at the Office of the Public Defender and is in private practice in Wilmington.

Winslow is also a retired Colonel from the Delaware National Guard and served in the Delaware State Senate from 1998 to 2002 as a member of the Republican Caucus from the 4th Senatorial District.
