Welcome to Episode 27, Season 7 of A CEO’s Virtual Mentor®

Are you a new board member serving on a regulated company board, but from a non regulatory background? This episode is directed especially to newer board members and executives in utility companies regulated at the state and even federal levels.  

My guest in this episode is Dr. Mark Jamison. Dr. Jamison is Director and Gerald Gunter Professor, Public Utility Research Center at the Warrington College of Business at the University of Florida in Gainesville. PURC is an internationally recognized academic center dedicated to research and to providing training in utility regulation and strategy to support effective utility policy, regulation, management, and leadership. PURC helps government and industry officials develop efficient utility infrastructure to better meet the needs of their customers. PURC’s view is educated executives, employees, and board members, organizations benefit from better decision making and thus a more promising future. 

Our discussion today is merely a survey of the history, development, structure, and process of utility regulation with advice on a few best practices in regulatory affairs posture and approach. Lyceum sees fitting coverage of the vast subject of regulation as well beyond this brief podcast. This is an appetizer.  For the main course - and to help you navigate more thoroughly through the changing regulatory landscape - please contact our guest Dr. Mark Jamison at the Public Utility Research Center.  For more about PURC, its ever-expanding body of research and its training courses, conferences and other events see the PURC webpage thought the Warrington College of Business at the University of Florida.
