operations, transmission operations, energy trading, maintenance scheduling, operator training, protection, distribution operations, energy management systems, and natural gas dispatch. He is an expert in regional transmission planning processes. Since joining Quanta Technology in 2006, Don has led projects in the development of transmission master plans, identifying strategic approaches for engaging construction contractors on transmission projects, implement-ing ERO compliance processes, and establishing NERC-compliant system restoration plans. Prior to joining Quanta Technology, he was Director of System Planning & Protection at American Transmission Company (ATC), a for-profit, stand-alone transmission company in the upper Midwest. He also served as the Director of System Operations at ATC. In that role, Don was charged with forming the system operations department for the ATC start-up. Don received his BSEE and MBA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is a registered professional engineer in the states of Wisconsin and Arkansas.

Jill Buck was commissioned a Naval Officer upon graduation from the University of Illinois. She is an honor graduate of the Military Justice School, and a graduate of the Navy’s small arms weapons course, taught by former Navy Seals. In 2002, Jill founded the Go Green Initiative, the largest and fastest growing comprehensive environmental education program in the world, operating in all 50 US states, 73 countries, and on five continents. The program has been endorsed by the National School Boards Association, National Re-cycling Coalition, nine State PTA’s, California Integrated Waste Management Board, California Resource Recovery Association, and many more. Jill is the host of “Go Green Radio,” a weekly program on the US’s larg-est internet talk radio station, www.VoiceAmerica.com. An internationally fea-tured speaker at business, public policy, political, and environmental conven-tions, she is one of the nation’s leading advocates of free market solutions for environmental protection issues. Jill has been featured in such publications as US Mayor, NSBA newsletter, Working Mother, Women’s Health, Ebony, Diablo maga-zine’s “Women to Watch,” Cleveland Business Connects, Today’s Catholic Teacher, Supermarket News, and Dermatology Times.

Lucy Pao received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electri-cal Engineering from Stanford University, and she is currently the Richard and Joy Dorf Professor in the Electrical, Com-puter, and Energy Engineering Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. She has spent sabbaticals at Harvard University, University of California at Berkeley, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Her primary research area is in control systems, with diverse applications ranging from atomic force microscopes to megawatt wind turbines. Selected honors include an NSF CAREER Award, an ONR Young Investigator Award, an IFAC World Congress Young Author Prize, and a World Haptics Conference Best Paper Award. One of Professor Pao’s past students won the 2001 American Control Conference (ACC) Student Best Paper Award, and another past student was a finalist for the award at the 2009 ACC. Professor Pao is currently an IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Distin-guished Lecturer, a member of the IEEE CSS Board of Governors, and General Chair for the 2013 ACC. She was recently (2012) elevated to IEEE Fellow and was a member of the 2010-2011 US Defense Science Study Group. She was also the founding Scientific Director (2007-2011) for the Center for Research and Education in Wind (CREW), a multi-institutional wind energy center involv-ing the University of Colorado Boulder, the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Colorado School of Mines, and Colorado State University, in part-nership with the US National Center for Atmospheric Research and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
