Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) board member Mary Harding was recently appointed to serve a one-year term on the American Public Power Association (APPA) Policy Makers Council as an at-large member.
Harding is in her third term on the NPPD Board of Directors. She currently serves as the board’s secretary and is chair of the Energy Supply Committee. She previously served as chair of Strategic Planning, Customer & Support Services and Budget.
The APPA represents not-for-profit, community-owned utilities across the United States. The Policy Makers Council assists the APPA in promoting federal legislation that is important to public power utilities and opposing harmful legislation. It also provides advice on other issues of importance to the association.
Members of the Policy Makers Council meet at least twice a year and participate in meetings with elected representatives and congressional staff to support the APPA’s national legislative agenda. The council consists of 40 members who either serve on utility boards or are elected officials in public power communities. Four members are appointed from each of the 10 geographic regions that the APPA recognizes. Several “at-large” members from across the country are also appointed based on vacancies in the 10 regions.
Public power utilities serve more than 49 million customers and employ more than 93,000 people nationwide.
