Workshop Geared to Pacific Northwest Low-Income Consumer IssuesA group of Northwest nonprofits and governmental entities are presenting "Taking the Stand," a training workshop, on May 18 and 19 in Spokane, Washington. The workshop is an introduction to those in the Pacific Northwest representing low-income and public interest consumer energy and telephone interests who want to gain more knowledge and skills in representing low-income consumer issues before regulatory and legislative bodies. A World Institute for a Sustainable Humanity is partnering with the Citizens Utility Alliance of Washington, the Northwest Energy Coalition, the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (via the state's recent REACH grant) and the Energy Project in presenting the workshop. This is the second time this workshop has been presented in the Northwest. Presenters include Bob Wallis, an administrative
law judge with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission
(who was a previous workshop trainer for Taking the Stand); Lisa
Brown, State Senator from Washington, a former Chair of the Senate
Energy Committee, and Matt Steuerwalt from the Washington State
Attorney General's Office of Public Counsel. Page Last Updated: January 27, 2010 |
