Today's pre-session, chaired by former Alaska Senate President Drue Pearce (NGP Photo), will include presentations by a host of Alaska in-state energy leaders from public and private sectors.
Governor Sean Parnell last week made a key move in finalizing the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, furthering the state’s efforts to bring Alaska’s natural gas to Alaskans. The governor announced his appointments to the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) Board of Directors.
“The people appointed today bring deep and diverse expertise to the AGDC Board,” Parnell said. “They have proven individual track records and success in team settings. I am confident that AGDC will meet the goal of getting Alaska’s gas to Alaskans and markets beyond.”
New board members include Albert “Al” Bolea, John Burns, Dave Cruz, Drue Pearce, and Richard “Dick” Rabinow, as well as Commissioner Susan Bell and Commissioner Dianne Blumer. Bell has served as Commerce commissioner since July 2010 and Blumer was appointed Labor commissioner in September 2012.
