    MINNEAPOLIS, July 17, 2017.  One of LVC’s longest tenured employees, Dan Westberg, was recently elected by his peers to chair the Minnesota State Board of Electricity.  For over thirty years, Dan has been an active member in our community and industry, including serving on various boards with unions we are affiliated with, the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and Notifier. 

    Dan’s appointment to the Minnesota State Board of Electricity began in 2012, and for the last 5 years, he has been active in shaping the electrical industry in our state.  Being elected to chair this board, validates the value he has added serving on the board. Dan is the first limited energy representative to serve as chair in the state of Minnesota.

    To be appointed to the Board of Electricity, an application is submitted to the Secretary of State, which is then passed on to the Governor for review and subsequent appointment or denial based on the qualifications submitted by the applicant. All appointments made by the Governor are made with the advice and consent of the Senate.

    According to their website, “The Board of Electricity is under the statutory authority of Minnesota Statutes 326B.32 to adopt the electrical code, including any amendments; adopt rules that regulate the licensure or registration of the electrical industry; and issue final interpretations of the electrical code. The Board of Electricity has 11 members that are appointed by the governor.”
