Julee Malinowski-Ball
Julee knew public policy was in her future after taking her first California government class in high school. She began her lobbying career as legislative director for a non-profit environmental organization where she was responsible for representing the organization’s interests before the State Legislature as well as building grassroots support for its policies and programs.
From there, she moved to Edson + Modisette, where she spent five years working with and learning from two of Sacramento’s most prominent energy consultants – David Modisette and Karen Edson – representing non-utility power plant developers, industrial consumers, major oil and gas companies, and utilities with regard to electric transportation issues. Specifically, Julee is considered one of Sacramento’s top energy and environmental consultants and has advocated on behalf of her clients policies related to climate, air quality, renewable energy, water quality, supply and infrastructure, distributed generation, forest health and low carbon transportation.
Julee’s experience includes working not only with the Legislature, but also with the State’s many regulatory agencies, Boards and Commissions, including the California Energy Commission and the California Air Resources Board. Her quick wit and ability to articulate positions succinctly and persuasively has made her a stand-out in any policy making arena.
Julee received a degree in Political Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a master’s degree in Government Studies from California State University, Sacramento.
