Former Pa. PUC chairman joins Stevens & Lee
Former chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Gladys Brown Dutrieuille has joined the Stevens & Lee Companies.
Stevens & Lee Companies, which includes Stevens & Lee, GSL Public Strategies Group and Stevens & Lee Public Affairs, said Dutrieuille has helped to shape the public utility landscape in the state and across the country.
“We are very pleased to welcome Gladys to our growing energy and utilities team,” said William P. Thornton, Jr., president and CEO of Stevens & Lee. “Her skill and experience reach all facets of the industry, from fossil fuels and renewables to hydrogen and broadband. Her unique skills are a great asset to our platform and will help us provide a higher level of service to our clients operating in and working with this industry.”
Dutrieuille is the immediate past president of the Mid-Atlantic Conference of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners (MACRUC) and was appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), where she chaired the NARUC Critical Infrastructure Committee.
As a member of the NARUC Telecommunications Committee, she sponsored an unanimously adopted resolution urging the FCC to retain its $2.3 billion federal budget for broadband deployment across the country.
A two-term PAPUC Commissioner, Dutrieuille began her tenure at the PAPUC in 2013 and was first appointed chairman of the commission in 2015 by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.
Gov. Tom Wolf nominated her for a second term in 2018 and reappointed her as chairman in 2019, placing her as the longest-serving female and African American chairman in the commission’s history.
During her leadership at PAPUC, Dutrieuille advanced transformative efforts in Pennsylvania’s energy generation, use and distribution, including the implementation of key consumer assistance programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to her career at the PAPUC, Dutrieuille served the Pennsylvania Senate for 22 years and, as a Deputy Chief Counsel for the Senate Democratic Leader, worked on key utility issues considered by the General Assembly.
