Board Directive
The AOI Board of Directors directs AOI to support legislation that promotes the free enterprise system, advances economic activity and complements innovation.
Issues
The issues addressed by the Energy Council include electricity restructuring, franchise tax and Public Utilities Commission (PUC) reform.
How We Work
The AOI Energy Council works in tandem with the Energy Coalition. Their goal is to coordinate with other interested organizations on energy issues, problems and current events. Working much like a taskforce, the Council addresses issues as they arise at the request of the Board of Directors or at the direction of the AOI Chairman.
