Tom Kuhn has announced his plans to step down as EEI President and CEO after more than 30 years of leading the organization. Kuhn is EEI’s longest-serving president. He will remain in his leadership role through the end of the year, and he plans to stay actively involved in the industry going forward.

A comprehensive national search will be conducted by EEI's Board of Directors, with the goal of having a new president and CEO in place by December 31. The executive search and leadership advisory firm Spencer Stuart has been retained to assist with this search.

“Few people have been as fortunate as I have to be associated with such a talented and dedicated team and to be part of such a vital industry,” Kuhn said. “I am incredibly proud of what EEI and our member companies have accomplished together during my tenure. I also am truly grateful to have the privilege to serve EEI’s Board each and every day.”

EEI will continue its work to advance the industry’s policy priorities and to tackle a full slate of initiatives during this transition.
