Paul Wenner, director of new project development for Southland Industries, based in Irvine, CA, was recently appointed to serve on the Virginia Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS) 2010 Energy Advisory Committee.

As a member of the committee, Wenner will be responsible for studying issues charged to the committee and applying his 29 years of energy experience towards the development of clean, renewable energy technologies that can benefit the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Once the studies have been concluded, advisory committees issue their final reports and recommendations, including legislative proposals to the commission for consideration.
