At a meeting held during its annual conference in Palm Beach, the Florida Municipal Electric Association elected a new slate of officers to preside over the organization’s board of directors.
Serving as the executive leadership team of the board are President Clint Bullock, general manager and CEO of OUC (Orlando Utilities Commission); President-elect Ed Liberty, director of the City of Lake Worth Beach Electric Utility; Vice President Steve Langley, electric utility director for the City of Mount Dora; and Secretary-Treasurer Tony Guillen, general manager – electric and gas utility for the City of Tallahassee.
“We are grateful to each of these officers for their continued service to the organization and look forward to applying their decades of leadership, expertise and advocacy this year to further our mission of supporting and promoting Florida’s public power utilities,” Amy Zubaly, FMEA Executive Director.
FMEA represents the interests of members that range in size from cities as populous as Jacksonville, Orlando, Lakeland, Tallahassee and Gainesville, to smaller Main Street towns, such as Wauchula, Havana and Bushnell. Together, these community-owned electric utilities proudly serve more than 4 million of Florida’s residential and business utility consumers and employ more than 5,700 Floridians.
The association actively represents and advocates for member cities’ interests on a wide variety of state and federal issues, provides emergency response and mutual aid coordination, provides education and training for members and serves as a clearinghouse for industry news and information.
FMEA hosts five signature events throughout the year: the FMEA Annual Conference, Energy Connections Conference & Trade Show, the Florida Lineman Competition, FMEA Hurricane Forum and the FMEA Legislative Rally.
