About

The Regulators Roundtable Institute a 501c3 organization is dedicated to improving quality of life, strengthening the American economy, and delivering real benefits to energy consumers. This is achieved by deepening understanding of regulatory processes, industry innovations, and economic challenges. Through fostering open dialogue and facilitating knowledge exchange, the Roundtable champions informed decision-making, builds collaborative partnerships, and advocates for solutions rooted in sound, conservative principles.

As the energy sector undergoes transformative shifts, commissioners and regulatory bodies are tasked with making decisions that balance sustainability, reliability, and affordability.

Unlike typical panels or large-scale conferences, Roundtable events are small gatherings that foster active participation and meaningful dialogue. Each session is crafted to promote conservative perspectives, bringing together a curated group of thought leaders, regulators, and investors in a collaborative environment.

Currently, the Institute has member commissioners from 15 states across the nation.

Elizabeth Gianini is a seasoned public affairs and government relations strategist with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of policy, politics, and strategic communications. She currently serves as President of the Regulators RoundTable Institute, where she leads national convenings and cross-sector initiatives aimed at advancing innovation, reliability, and collaboration in state energy regulation.

Prior to her current role, Elizabeth served as Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA), where she led government relations, policy, and strategic communications at both the state and federal levels—driving forward policy solutions for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. She also held senior positions as SVP of Government Affairs at DentaQuest and Vice President of State Affairs at WellCare Health Plans.

Earlier in her career, Elizabeth held key leadership roles across all levels of government. She served as Chief of Staff to the first Republican Mayor of Orange County, Florida, and as Deputy Chief of Staff to Ambassador Robert Zoellick, then U.S. Trade Representative under President George W. Bush. She also played a pivotal role during the 2000 Florida recount as Deputy Executive Director of the Republican Party of Florida.

Though newer to the energy and technology sectors, Elizabeth is widely respected for her coalition-building expertise, ability to align policy and business strategy, and her pragmatic, results-oriented leadership. She is a trusted advisor, frequent mentor, and thought partner in shaping the regulatory landscape on issues of national significance.
