Jan Brinch Award for Collaboration in Public Service

In 2019, NCEP initiated an award in memory of Jeannette "Jan" Brinch, who energetically facilitated the National Council on Electricity Policy (NCEP) from 2014 to 2018 and passed away in 2018. Jan's career was marked by progress on energy and environmental issues from a wide range of public service positions. One of the hallmarks of her success in each of these roles was her desire to collaborate with others with diverse perspectives, positions, and organizations. This award honors other public servants who similarly view their positions as opportunities to bring people together to accomplish public interest goals in the electricity sector.
