“I’m happy to welcome Debbie-Anne to the Office of the Secretary,” Glick said. “She has extensive experience at the Commission in the Office of the General Counsel, and she will help FERC pursue its mission in serving the public interest and continuing to build public trust with the American people. I know she will be terrific in her new role as the Deputy Secretary.”
