IID Board Chair Elected To Influential Power Policy Council

Alex Cardenas, the Chairman of  the Imperial Irrigation District Board of Directors, has been elected Vice-President of the American Public Power Association Policy Maker’s Council.

There are 45 people on the Council, and last week 30 of them jetted to Washington D.C. to discuss how to reduce carbon emissions, improve power grid security, upgrade the supply chain, reinforce energy infrastructure and ultimately how to pay for all of that.

The American Public Power Association represents not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that keep the power on for 54 million Americans  in 2-thousand cities and towns across the country.

Collectively,  Association members employ 96-thousand workers.
