William R. Mayben will retire next year after serving seven years on the PJM Board of Managers. PJM announced last week that Mayben would remain in his position until a successor is named at the May 2015 PJM Annual Meeting.

The Nominating Committee will seek a successor to serve the remainder of Mayben’s term, which expires in 2016. Under the PJM Operating Agreement, the replacement must have “expertise and experience in the operation or concerns of Transmission Dependent Utilities.”

Mayben was president and CEO of the Nebraska Public Power District from 1995 to 2002. Before heading the Nebraska PPD, he spent more than 30 years at R.W. Beck & Associates, an engineering and management consulting firm, rising to managing partner and CEO.

A 1962 electrical engineering graduate of the University of Colorado, he is a former member of the board of directors for both the American Public Power Association and the Large Public Power Council.
