The Commission also establishes its expectations for the orientation of new Commission members. As stated in the policy “The ERMU Commission is committed to excellent governance. This requires that individual Commissioners be well-informed about ERMU, its customers and stakeholders, the utility business, prudent financial management, and the Commission’s own governance structure and processes.” Consistent with this commitment and Commission policies, an annual orientation program for new and existing Commission members was implemented in 2018. Although we have no new Commission members in 2021, this year’s annual orientation will offer seasoned Commissioners the opportunity to review commission policy, learn more about parliamentary procedure, and make updates to their commission policy manual and reference guide.
