Utility Commissioners Donate to Salvation Army Project SHARE Association Conducting Annual Meeting in Atlanta
Atlanta, November 16, 2010 The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) announced that the group has donated $1500 to Project SHARE in lieu of speaker gifts during the NARUC 122nd Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia at the urging of Stan Wise, a
member of the Georgia Public Service Commission. "Project SHARE helps make the difference for those who are facing disastrous situations due to lack of resources and NARUC is glad to assist
this worthwhile charity," said Commissioner Wise.
In 1985, the Salvation Army Georgia Division established Project Share to provide emergency assistance for the elderly, families and other Georgians facing crisis situations. Each year SHARE assists more than 40,000 people affected by illness, job loss or other unfortunate situations. "The Salvation Army is pleased to accept this contribution from NARUC. We are grateful for their interest in community service and confidence in Project SHARE's ability to serve our community's needs," said Jim Arrowood, Salvation Army Georgia Divisional Commander.
NARUC is the national association representing the State Public Service Commissioners who regulate essential utility services, including energy, telecommunications, and water. NARUC members are responsible for assuring reliable utility service at fair, just, and reasonable rates. Founded in 1889, the Association is an invaluable resource for its members and the regulatory community, providing a venue to set and influence public policy, share best practices, and foster innovative solutions to improve regulation. NARUC brings over 1200 attendees to Atlanta with an estimate economic impact of nearly $1 million. This is the second NARUC annual meeting in Atlanta in the past six years.
Commissioner Wise is a past President of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and currently is a member of the NARUC Board of Directors. He is serving in his third term on the Georgia Public Service Commission and previously served as
Commission Chairman in 1997, 1999 and 2006. Commissioner Wise's full biography is available on the Commission web site at http://www.psc.state.ga.us/pscinfo/bios/wise.asp
