Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has named Janet Weiss and Dennis Michel to the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. board of directors, the governor’s office said in an Aug. 23 press release.

Weiss, formerly president of BP Alaska, will fill a seat which is currently empty; her term begins Aug. 23 and runs through Dec. 1, 2025.

Michel will join the board Dec. 1 this year, with a term running through Dec. 1, 2026. The governor’s office said Michel will fill the seat held by Doug Smith, who did not wish to be reappointed to the board. Smith is currently board chairman.

The governor’s office said Weiss received her Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Oklahoma State University and has more than 35 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry in various engineering and leadership roles for ARCO and BP, including president of BP’s Alaska region for 7 years.

Michel received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business and his Master of Business Administration with a concentration in corporate finance from the University of Denver.

He has more than 17 years’ experience in finance and information services in management and consulting.

No upcoming board meetings were posted on the AGDC website when this issue of Petroleum News went to press. The board most recently met in February; a June board meeting was cancelled due to lack of a quorum.
