Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is the top leadership committee of the WHPA.  It replaces the interim Steering Committee.  Committee members are representatives of PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, SDG&E, the California Public Utility Commission, and seven volunteer HVAC industry organizations.

The duties of the Executive Committee include providing direction to the WHPA and its Committees, reviewing and approving WHPA membership applications, forming new Committees and selecting Committee chairs.  Committee members are also members of the Council of Advisors. The Executive Committee keeps the WHPA focus on the goal of its charter, which is to support the Strategic Plan for increased energy efficiency in California.

The Executive Committee meets monthly by conference call and is chaired by James Tuleya with PG&E.
