The Commission also establishes its expectations for the <br />orientation of new commission members. <br />As stated in the policy, "The ERMU Commission is committed to excellent governance. This <br />requires that individual Commissioners be well-informed about ERMU, its customers and <br />stakeholders, the utility business, prudent financial management, and the Commission's own <br />governance structure and processes." Consistent with this commitment and commission <br />policies, an annual orientation program for new and existing commission members was <br />implemented in 2018. <br />This year's orientation will offer a presentation from Frontier Energy on updates to ERMU's <br />Conservation Improve Program as well as a review of the Commission Policy manual and <br />reference guide updates from the previous 12 months. <br />COMMISSIONER POLICY AND REFERENCE GUIDE UPDATES: <br />1.
