Head of Marcellus group stepping down
PITTSBURGH (AP) – The head of Pennsylvania’s leading natural gas industry group said she’ll be stepping down this fall.
Kathryn Klaber, chief executive officer of Marcellus Shale Coalition, said Friday that she’s proud of what the group has accomplished over the last four years. The coalition represents drillers, pipeline companies and other industry-related companies.
The group plans a nationwide search for its next leader.
Coalition chairman Dave Spigelmyer said the group is grateful for Klaber’s tireless efforts. When the coalition was founded in 2008, Pennsylvania produced negligible amounts of natural gas, but production from the Marcellus Shale formation has boomed since then.
The group said Klaber will be representing them at upcoming meetings in Australia and London, as well as hosting the MSC’s third annual Shale Insight conference in Philadelphia in late September.
