A member of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission will temporarily serve as the agency's director of administration.
Commissioner Bob Anthony says he'll take on the additional duties until the commission completes its transition.
Anthony says Commissioner-elect Todd Hiett takes office on Jan. 12 and will help the three-member commission find the most qualified candidate to permanently fill the position.
Current OCC Director of Administration Lori Wrotenbery informed commissioners in October she would be leaving the agency for family reasons. Anthony will take over the position on Thursday.
Anthony is the longest serving utility commissioner in the United States and has served six times as chairman of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
He holds positions with the National Petroleum Council, the Gas Technology Institute, and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners.
