SCOTTISHPOWER APPOINTS TWO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
ScottishPower is today pleased to announce the appointment of two non-executive directors whose combined experience ranges widely across US business, government and community affairs.
Vicky A Bailey, 52, who is based in Washington DC, is a former Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs at the US Department of Energy and ex-member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). She has also served as an Indiana state regulator.
Dr Nancy Wilgenbusch, 56, is a distinguished community administrator and President of Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon. She also serves on the Regional Advisory Board of PacifiCorp, ScottishPower’s US subsidiary.
ScottishPower Chairman Charles Miller Smith said: “We are delighted with these two appointments which further strengthen the close regulatory and community relations we have forged in the US.”
They will replace Sir Peter Gregson and Mair Barnes who retire after the Annual General Meeting on 23 July 2004. “The Board benefited greatly from the wisdom and experience of Sir Peter and Mair and I would like to express our thanks for their valuable contributions,” Mr Miller Smith added.
The appointments will take effect from 1 June 2004.
