In August 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue appointed a 22-member Energy Policy Council to guide the completion of the State Energy Strategy for Georgia. The Council consists of eighteen members from business, public interest organizations and research institutions. Additionally, the Governor appointed four State officials to serve ex officio. Lee Thomas, retired president and COO of Georgia Pacific, chairs the Council. See biographies of the Governor's appointees.
