Edwards Elected to INTREN’s Board of Directors
INTREN, LLC has appointed former Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) Commissioner Sherina Maye Edwards to the company’s board of directors, effective immediately.
Appointed to a 5-year term in 2013, Edwards was the youngest commissioner ever to be selected for the ICC. Since her appointment, she has been actively involved in the National Association for Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) serving as Chair on both the Subcommittee on Pipeline Safety, and the Subcommittee on Supplier and Workforce Diversity.
Frequently recognized for her leadership, Edwards was selected to join the ranks of the distinguished list of fellows for the Leadership Greater Chicago in 2015, and was named a 2017 Eisenhower Fellow where she served as an Ambassador for the United States in South Africa and Australia.
A long-time champion for diversity and inclusion, Edwards founded the Women’s Energy Summit, a national event focused on vital issues in the energy industry. She also is a founding member and current president for the Women’s Energy Network Chicago, as well as a member of the board of directors for the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
Prior to her ICC appointment, Edwards was an attorney for Locke Lord LLP, where she focused on business and consumer finance litigation.
Edwards has a J.D. from Howard University School of Law and a B.A. in Psychology from Spelman College.
