Jennifer Light, the Council’s Regional Technical Forum manager, has been elected chair of the 26-member energy efficiency advisory committee.

Voting members of the forum are appointed by the Council and include individuals experienced in energy efficiency program planning, implementation and evaluation.

Ms. Light replaces Council Power Planning Director Tom Eckman as RTF chair. As a staff member in the Council's Power Planning Division, Ms. Light helps manage the RTF as it develops energy efficiency measures throughout the Northwest. She holds a bachelor's degree in geology from Macalester College and a master's in public administration in environmental science and policy from Columbia University.
