“I am grateful that these fellow regulators have agreed to take a seat on NARUC’s Board, as each one brings credentialed leadership, subject-matter knowledge and a clear understanding of the needs of the Association,” Julie Fedorchak, the president of NARUC, who made the appointments. “We also appreciate the hard work of the previous Board members, who were instrumental in guiding NARUC to its present status. The new members are joining a strong group of regulators focused on working collectively to serve NARUC and the public interest.”
Members are appointed by the current NARUC president and serve four-year terms. Fedorchak, a regulator for the North Dakota Public Service Commission. also sits on the board. Along with Fedorchak and the 20-members, the board consists of the first and second vice presidents, each past president who is still an active NARUC member, and the chair of each standing committee.
