Tim Echols, Public Service Commissioner to speak
Echols was elected Public Service Commissioner in 2010. The PSC's primary job is energy regulation. Echols has brought Georgia from 34th in solar power to what will be 4th in installed solar by 2024. Echols has also created the Clean Energy Roadshow which helps commuters, businesses and municipal governments evaluate alternative fuel for their transportation and residential use. Tim rallied donors to build a 16-panel solar pavilion for the community library on Sapelo island off Georgia’s coast, the home of the last remaining Gullah Geechee communities which now has free electricity for the next 30 years. Tim has a weekly radio show called Energy Matters. When Tim is not managing Georgia's energy portfolio, Tim fights sex trafficking and advocates for the youngest of Georgia’s citizens. He created the "UnHoly Tour" which helps policy makers see first-hand the harms of sex trafficking. The tour is credited with rescuing two children in Atlanta. Tim also founded “TeenPact” and grew the mock legislative youth program for teens to 38 states in his tenure. He continues to serve on the Board of Directors, and TeenPact is now in all 50 states. Tim and his wife, Windy, have been married 38 years and they have seven children and now live in Hoschton, Georgia. RRAH is Meeting Tonight!
