“Kim's background as regulatory counsel and in legislative
policy matters adds huge value to Aqua,” said Chris Franklin. “She
is especially adept at working with and educating key stakeholders
to ensure Aqua continues its long standing commitment to providing
safe and reliable service to its customers and to the
community.”
Franklin noted that Joyce has contributed to a number of
significant policy milestones in the states where Aqua operates
over the years.
“Kim has played an integral role in educating and expanding upon
legislative best practices in the water industry including fair
market value legislation and improving infrastructure replacement
mechanisms,” said Franklin. “These important legislative
initiatives help communities across our footprint, and facilitate
our ability to replace aging infrastructure.”
Joyce has also spearheaded Aqua partnerships to help others in
need. Recently, she forged a partnership with the Villanova School
of Engineering to assist families in developing countries that do
not have access to safe and reliable drinking water.
An attorney, Joyce spent five years with the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission before joining Aqua in 2007. During her tenure
at the PUC, she advised the commission on electric, gas and
telecommunication matters and defended commission orders before
state and federal courts. She previously clerked for Pennsylvania
Commonwealth Court President Judge James Gardner Colins and worked
for Baker & Botts, LLP in their Washington, D.C. energy and
natural resources office.
Joyce earned her J.D. at the University of Pittsburgh and both
her B.A. in economics and M.B.A. from Villanova University. She
serves on the board of the Economy League of Greater
Philadelphia.
