Electric vehicle charging network ChargePoint, announced in a statement that President and CEO Pasquale Romano has been appointed to serve as a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC).

Established in 2001, National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) comprises executive leaders from the private sector, as well as state and local government, responsible for operating the critical infrastructure essential to modern life. The council advises the U.S. president on how to reduce physical and cyber risks, and improve the security and resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure sectors.
