[8] Measure Named NPCC Chair

Montana's Bruce Measure has been elected to chair the Northwest Power and Conservation Council during the coming year. He has represented his state on the Council since 2005.

Measure said he was honored to be picked. "It is an exciting time with the expected release of a new power plan that contemplates meeting nearly all of the region's load growth with conservation, and a new spirit of collaboration in salmon recovery. I look forward to be working with the Council members, states, tribes, ratepayers, and the public in general on the important matters of energy and fish and wildlife mitigation in the Columbia Basin."

Measure has been a practicing attorney since 1988, and before that he worked in the forest industry. He has also served as a representative in his state legislature and president of the board of trustees of the Flathead Electric Cooperative.

Washington member Dick Wallace was elected vice chair. He has been on the Council since 2008. Wallace is a former regional director of his state's Department of Ecology. -B. R.
