National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) is the U.S. national association representing state public service/regulatory commissions that oversee utilities (energy, telecommunications, water, transportation). NARUC organizes recurring, membership-focused meetings and conferences, such as the Winter Policy Summit, annual meetings, committee meetings, regional meetings, and professional development courses. These events are targeted at state commissioners, commission staff, and related regulators. While NARUC specifically serves state utility regulators and is not a general "state government" or "governors" conference organizer, its events are highly relevant for state agency summits, state regulators, and legislative/regulatory topics affecting state government. It also runs professional development and committee forums that would overlap with state legislature and agency interests, but it is distinct from organizations like NASCIO or CSG, whose remit targets state CIOs or broader state officials.
