How are those rates determined and by whom ? How does legislation (State and Federal) affect the bottom line on every monthly energy bill? \n\n\n\nThis panel will introduce you to representatives of the southern states’ commissions and professionals who appear before such commissions. These representatives function as the General Counsels for their respective Commissions or as the lead consumer advocates appearing before various state commissions. \n\n\n\nPanelists will discuss the differing commission structures in the South and share their expertise on such matters as judicial conduct\, ex parte communications\, open meeting requirements\, competency and the practice of utility law\, the often times dual advisory/advocacy roles of public utility practitioners\, gift restrictions and other trending issues. \n\n\n\n\n\nElizabeth ShoenfeldSenior Assistant Bar CounselVirginia State Bar\n\n\n\n\n\nArlen BolstadDeputy General CounselVirginia State Corporation Commission\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas BondDirector of UtilitiesGeorgia Public Service Commission\n\n\n\n\n\nNanette EdwardsExecutive DirectorOffice of Regulator Staff\, South Carolina\n\n\n\n\n\nAdria E.
