CIC Working Groups

 

Community Input Committee (CIC) Working Groups function to further the effectiveness of CIC members by providing an opportunity to learn and understand the complexities of the natural gas and electric utility business, and to serve as informal workshops, which may involve issues not subject to public disclosure. Working Group agendas, and executive summaries of those meetings, are posted publicly and provided to the Board of Trustees before each Board Meeting. The agendas, executive summaries, and meeting dates for the CIC Working Groups can be found below.
