Landman González Nominated to OUC Board President, Two New Commissioners Confirmed to Board

Linda Landman González has been elected as president of the Orlando Utilities Commission’s Board of Commissioner. Additionally, Phillip N. Brown and Bridget Williams, Ed.D., have been selected to serve on the board after confirmation by the City of Orlando. These updates, which were effective January 26, reflect OUC’s commitment to affordable, reliable and innovative service, and community-focused leadership.

Landman González was nominated to a two-year term as board president. She joined the board in January 2024, bringing deep experience in community relations and corporate leadership. A retired Vice President of Community Relations and Government Affairs for the Orlando Magic, she also serves as President Emerita of the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation and has held leadership roles with numerous boards and educational organizations across Central Florida.

Landman González will lead the five-member board in guiding OUC’s strategic direction, financial stewardship, and service to more than 400,000 electric and water customers. She steps into this role as the utility begins the initial phase of its 10-year strategic plan focused on providing affordable, reliable and sustainable electric and water services.

Two new commissioners have also joined the OUC board:

• Brown was elected as OUC’s nominee to succeed Larry Mills, Th.D., whose eight-year term expired in December 2025, and nominated to First Vice President. Brown brings extensive executive leadership experience, including 12 years as CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, where he oversaw the Orlando International and Orlando Executive airports. Under his tenure, Brown guided major capital improvements, record passenger growth, and navigated the organization through the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Brown is a certified public accountant with a bachelor’s in economics and an MBA from the University of Tennessee.
• Williams was elected as OUC’s nominee to complete Roger Chapin’s term through December 2028 and nominated to Second Vice President. Williams is Deputy Superintendent for Executive Services at Orange County Public Schools and has more than two decades of senior leadership experience. An Orlando native, she is recognized for advancing student achievement and organizational excellence and serves on multiple higher-education advisory boards. She holds a bachelor’s in health care administration and a master’s in public administration from Florida A&M University; a master’s in school guidance from the University of Central Florida; and a doctorate in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University.

The Commission also approved updates to its Audit Finance Committee. Britta Gross was appointed to Chair while continuing in her role as a commissioner, with Brown as First Vice Chair, and Williams as Second Vice Chair. Landman González will serve as an ex-officio voting member of the committee.

As these transitions take effect, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will continue serving as an ex-officio member of the board.

The OUC Board of Commissioners provides governance and policy oversight for the municipal utility.
