Oil Patch Bits: The Alliance calls for 2011 board nominations

The Alliance board and elections committee said Aug. 15 that it is seeking members to serve on the Alliance board of directors. There are seven three-year terms available in the fiscal year 2012 elections. Election results will be announced at the annual meeting on Sept. 29. Newly elected members will begin serving their terms Oct. 1.

Alliance directors are leaders in the oil, gas and mineral resource industries. They are focused on improving the business climate for contractors by communicating with legislators and the administration in Juneau, serving on committees and participating in and supporting Alliance events throughout the year. These events are prime networking opportunities for all members of the Alliance.

Board members review industry issues, voice Alliance positions and develop strategies to improve and empower our organization. Directors may serve a maximum of two consecutive three-year terms.

If you are interested in running for a seat on the Alliance board of directors, please forward a written statement of candidacy to the Alliance office. Nominees must confirm their intent to run for a seat on the board. This may be provided in a letter format. Include a biography; a brief summary of employment; involvement in industry and/or business-related organizations and other pertinent information; and photograph, electronic headshot preferred. Nomination must reach The Alliance office by Aug. 22. Email to [email protected].
