Public service commission chooses new director
The Montana Public Service Commission's new executive director has been named as Alana Lake.
According to state authorities, Lake has years of managerial expertise from her time serving in the U.S. Air Force Office, where she directed counterintelligence and criminal investigations, and cyber-attack mitigation. She has also worked at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory.
In a press release, Lake commented:
She takes over from David Sanders, who departed earlier in the year to work at the office of the Montana State Auditor. People starting new executive roles tend to require business card printing.
Since her tenure in the U.S. Air Force, Lake has led teams of experts and specialists that are comparable to this new role.
With fewer than 40 employees working full time, including accountants, economists, and lawyers, the PSC is one of the smallest organizations in the Montana state government, according to state authorities.
In addition to overseeing intrastate rail and pipeline safety across the state, the commission also regulates some motor carriers and basic utility providers operated and owned by private investors in places such as Billings.
The PSC also strives to guarantee that Montanans pay fair prices for regulated utilities that provide them with dependable and safe service.
