The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) held a confirmation hearing on Oct. 22 for four nominees to TVA’s Board of Directors.
TVA Board members are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. As part of the confirmation process, the EPW Committee holds a confirmation hearing where senators can ask the nominees questions.
Nominees that attended the Oct. 22 confirmation hearing were Mitch Graves, Jeff Hagood, Randall Jones and Arthur Graham. A fifth nominee, Lee Beaman, is continuing through the nomination process and will be considered at a later hearing.
Following the confirmation hearing, the EPW Committee will meet to vote to advance the nominees for consideration of the full Senate. Once the Senate confirms the nominees, they will be sworn in as TVA Board members. TVA will continue to share more information as this process moves forward.
TVA looks forward to the nominees continuing through the confirmation process and appreciates their willingness to serve on the Board of Directors.
