THE LINK: OCTOBER 2023 4 Alliance Members and Friends: As I complete my term as President of the Alliance board, I look back at what the organization has done in the last year, and I am thankful! n Thankful for the 500+ members who join us, support us and stick with us as we all ride the roller coaster of resource development in Alaska. We consistently hit a 98% membership retention rate — I am humbled by that. n Thankful for the 48 new companies that joined the Alliance this year! We look forward to having you on Team Alliance and helping you and your company be successful. n Thankful for the educational events that we hosted, all over the state, in the past year. Hundreds of Alaskans have learned about responsible resource development via our events. Thousands more have learned the same through our regular publications. n Thankful for the joint-advocacy efforts with the majority of Alaskans to get the Willow project approved. n Thankful for the early success that the Alaska Oil and Gas Historical Society has experienced. Preserving our industry history is a priority for the Alliance. n And last but not least, I am thankful for the incredible board members I serve with who are committed to Alaska and to the Alliance and to Rebecca Logan, our CEO, and Catherine Chambers, our External Affairs Coordinator, who do an incredible job staying on top of all of our projects, education and advocacy endeavors. I will continue to serve on the board as an Emeriti director. I hope to see many of you in the coming year, as we work together on key issues our industry is facing. We know we will be faced with legislation raising taxes on the oil industry on day one of the 2024 legislative session. We know we will continue to face attempts to stop all development in Alaska from the current administration and radical environmental groups. We know we are facing a huge workforce shortage in the coming year as work ramps up on projects like Willow and Pikka. We also know that when we work together as a support industry and with our sister trade associations, we can tackle any problem! Thank you for your support throughout my year as President. I’m proud of the work we all have done for The Alliance Message From Randy Beltz Board of Directors President Stay connected with us We are working proactively to keep our members informed and connected via online platforms and events.
