Logan to take over Alliance helm

Rebecca Logan is the new general manager of the Alaska Support Industry Alliance. She replaces the retiring Paul Laird.

The official handover date is Nov. 4, said newly elected Alliance President Mark Hylen, of Beacon Occupational Health and Safety Services.

Logan formerly was president of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Alaska. She’s on the board of Chugach Electric Association.

Logan told Petroleum News she started work at the Alliance on Oct. 1.

“I’m excited. It’s a great time to be advocating for oil and gas and mining in this state,” she said.

The Alliance is a nonprofit trade association made up of hundreds of product and service providers to the oil and gas and mining industries. It was founded in 1979.

Logan said she’d like to increase attention to mining.

Laird became Alliance GM in 2005. He’ll stick around to work on the Alliance’s big Meet Alaska conference in January, Logan said.
