ATLANTA — A former member of Georgia’s Public Service Commission (PSC) has been named to serve on the state ethics commission.

Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Stan Wise late last week to the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission. 

Wise, a Republican, was elected to the PSC in 1994 and served four consecutive six-year terms. Before that, he served on the Cobb County Commission.

Currently, Wise is an associate with the Pendleton Group, an Atlanta-based economic development consulting firm. He owned and operated an insurance business in Cobb for 20 years.

In 2003, Wise’s regulatory peers elected him president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC). When he left office, he chaired the Gas Committee of NARUC for three years and served on the International Relations Committee.

Wise earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Charleston Southern University. He also served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve for six years.
