A New Opportunity…
I just wrapped up my first two weeks as President and CEO of a new industry organization here in Washington, DC – America’s Natural Gas Alliance, or as we all call it, ANGA. And, for all of my social media friends, yes, I am VERY late getting this posted. Forgive me – a friend asked me if I was drinking from a fire hose. My reply – “Nope… 50 water cannons at full blast!” So, I know I should have posted this sooner… but, here is it! Better late than never!
As you all know, I have been working on behalf of the broadband industry for several years now and to say it was a difficult decision to leave that very important debate would be a huge understatement. I truly believe in the power of broadband and the absolute necessity of giving all American’s access to the technologies which are changing our country’s education and health care systems, economic stability and environment. (See my last blog on the NextGenWeb site.) But, when I was presented this opportunity to work on making a difference in one of these fields, the environment, while at the same time being professionally challenged on a whole new level, I couldn’t walk away from it.
I have learned so much during the transition period and during these last two weeks. I have met the most extraordinary people. ANGA is made of the leaders of North America’s natural gas exploration and production companies. And, they have great news to share on new finds of natural gas, right here at home – natural gas that is abundant, supplies that are sustainable, and an energy source that is better for our economic development and our environmental future. It is a clean, green, domestic fuel, ready to take our country forward.
I hope you will check out the site and my blogs postings both current and future! And, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @reginahopper and @angaus
More later.
