President Donald Trump has removed a Biden-appointed member of the TVA board of directors a year before her term was originally set to expire, according to an SEC filing Friday.
Michelle Moore is the CEO of the nonprofit organization Groundswell. She’s also the author of “Rural Renaissance” and previously served as former President Barack Obama’s chief sustainability officer.

She was confirmed to the agency’s board of directors by the U.S. Senate in December 2022. Her term was originally set to expire on May 18, 2026, but it ended on Thursday at the direction of Trump. Members of the TVA board of directors are nominated by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
This comes about a week after Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty wrote an op-ed in Power critical of the agency’s leadership.
