Energy Advisory Board

Nov. 5 Energy Advisory Board meeting canceled
In an abundance of caution during the COVID-19 crisis, and in recognition that oil and gas activity is currently quite slow and thus many of the issues we generally address are less prevalent, the Energy Advisory Board (EAB) officers have determined it is best to hold off on EAB meetings for the time being.
We will continue to monitor the situation and let you know if the November meeting will be held and any special safeguards we may have in place to protect all attendees.
As always please feel free call or email if you have any oil and gas questions or concerns I may assist you with. While EAB is on hiatus because of the pandemic, my commitment to ensure any oil and gas questions or concerns are addressed as quickly as possible remains unchanged.
Regards,
Kirby (on behalf of the EAB officers)
