The American Public Power Association is inviting member organizations from Regions 2, 4 and 8 to nominate candidates for seats on APPA’s Board of Directors to represent those regions on the Board. Nominations must be submitted no later than September 9, 2024.
There are currently vacant seats due to the retirements of Thomas Falcone, Long Island Power Authority, Uniondale, NY, Region 8, and David Walters, Grand Haven Board of Light and Power, Grand Haven, MI, Region 2.
In addition, there are two vacant seats due to two members being elected as APPA Board Officers.
Michael Peters, WPPI Energy, Sun Prairie, WI, has resigned his Region 2 Board of Directors seat, due to his election to Vice Chair of the APPA Board of Directors.
Bret Carroll, Conway Corporation, Conway, AR, has resigned his Region 4 Board of Directors seat, due to his election to Treasurer of the APPA Board of Directors.
APPA is seeking candidates for the two open Board seats in Region 2 (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin), one open Board seat in Region 4 (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas), and one open Board seat in Region 8 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont).
The form to nominate individuals for these positions can be found at this link on APPA’s website.
The Nominating Committee will meet virtually in September 2024 to consider nominations for the vacant Board seats. The Committee's recommendation for the new Board members will be presented to the association's Board of Directors at its fall meeting held in October 2024.
APPA members are being urged to nominate qualified candidates to serve on the association’s Board of Directors from member public power utilities, joint action agencies, and regional and state public power associations.
In addition to the nomination form, the guidelines used by members of the Nominating Committee in the evaluation of candidates are also provided here.
Please submit nominations online no later than September 9, 2024. Contact Cartina Parks-Williams at [email protected] for questions regarding submissions.
