FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS HONORED
Lincoln, October 11, 2024 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) is proud to honor Nichole Mulcahy,
Director PSC Natural Gas Department and Sallie Dietrich,
PSC Senior Legal Counsel, as its 2024 State of Nebraska
Excellence in Leadership Award Recipients.
Providing exceptional service to the State of Nebraska
for more than 20 years, Mulcahy is recognized as a leader
among both Commission and State colleagues. Director
of the PSC Natural Gas Department since 2017, she has
handled several extremely complex and technical cases
including rate cases and a major oil pipeline siting which
were affirmed on judicial review. A proactive manager,
Mulcahy works daily to protect the interest of Nebraska
ratepayers.
“Nichole leads by example,” said PSC Executive Director
Thomas Golden. “An effective communicator, she has the
respect of not only her staff, and colleagues but the
industry as well.”
As Senior Legal Counsel Dietrich is an instrumental
member of the Commission’s legal team. Joining the
Commission in 2018, her expertise in telecommunications
law and policy has proven essential for Commissioners as
they navigate the changing landscape of broadband
infrastructure development. A team player, she provides
insightful comments and sharp legal analysis as she works
to assist Commission attorneys.
Golden said, “Sallie’s willingness to take on extra projects,
fill in for other departments or provide thoughtful
assistance to her PSC colleagues is the personification of a
true teammate.”
The Excellence in Leadership Award is designed to recognize
and celebrate the professional achievements of those whose
performance and customer service exceeds all expectations.
A reception honoring the 2024 Nebraska Excellence in
Leadership Award recipients was held on October 11, at the
Governor’s residence. ###
