Staff Subcommittee on Executive Management

The Staff Subcommittee on Executive Management (SSEM) has as its purpose to provide a forum for commission staff functions - e.g. fiscal, human resources, management information systems, legal, hearing judges, investigation, enforcement, legislative functions, communications, etc. to interact with colleagues and promote the exchange of ideas and the discussion of mutual issues.

Members of the SSEM are generally utility commission Executive Directors or Chiefs of Staff; however, attendance at these meetings is open to all commission personnel who have an interest coinciding with the SSEM purpose and/or topics on the agenda.
