NARUC Annual Meeting

Fortnightly Magazine - January 2024

NARUC held its Annual Meeting and Education Conference November 12 - 15 in La Quinta, California, closing out three years of the theme, “Connecting the Dots, Innovative/Disruptive Technology and Regulation.” That theme began under the tenure of former NARUC President Paul Kjellander of Idaho and continued under the reigns of Virginia’s Judith Jagdmann and Connecticut’s Michael Caron.

At this Annual Meeting and Education Conference in La Quinta, the excitement was palpable, as NARUC President Michael Caron passed the torch on to North Dakota Commissioner Julie Fedorchak, who as NARUC’s new President will make history with the first all-female leadership of the Association, with Georgia’s Tricia Pridemore as First Vice President and Washington’s Ann Rendahl as Second Vice President.

Of course, much more went on, as newly-elected NARUC President Fedorchak introduced a new theme for NARUC, “Focused on the Future: State Regulators Leading the Way.” More on that can be found in the December 2023 issue of Public Utilities Fortnightly. Here are excerpts from three panels that took place at the Annual Conference.
