Gov. Tony Evers Appoints Summer Strand to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced his appointment of Summer Strand to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC). The appointment fills a vacancy created by the resignation of Ellen Nowak, effective March 1, 2023. This appointment is effective March 2, 2023, for a six-year term expiring in 2029.
Strand has a long history of public service. Strand currently serves on the State of Wisconsin Building Commission (SBC), having been appointed by Gov. Evers in 2019 to serve as the sole citizen member of the commission. Strand also previously served as the administrator of the Division of Facilities Development at the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) from August 2011 to May 2016, where she was secretary of the SBC and was responsible for helping develop and administer the approximately $1 billion state building program for all state agencies and the UW System.
“I am confident my public and private sector experience, legal background, and leadership and communication skills will be an asset to the Commission as we take on many of the important issues Wisconsinites are facing today,” said Strand. “I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to get to work.”
Strand is a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin and earned her law degree from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2006, as well as her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002.
