The top administrator for the Louisiana Public Service Commission has retired, prompting the agency to search for a new executive secretary to oversee day-to-day operations.
Eve Kahao Gonzalez’s last day with the agency was last Tuesday, says Commission spokesman Colby Cook.
The five elected commissioners voted to conduct a national search for the position, with an advertised salary range between $100,000 and $140,000. Resumes from interested candidates, according to the job listing, must be submitted by Jan. 13.
Brandon Frey, the chief lawyer for the commission, is working as the interim executive secretary. He’s also considered a leading candidate for the permanent job.
Gonzalez worked for the commission for 19 years, says Cook, and as executive secretary since 2009.
