Public Outreach

This committee educates the American public about our domestic oil and natural gas industry and the IOGCC. While issues publicly arise everyday concerning our nation’s oil and gas, Public Outreach strives to communicate the IOGCC’s role as the information and research authority on domestic petroleum resources.

Chair: Charlie Burd, President, Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia, Inc.
Vice-Chair: Frank Thorwald
IOGCC Staff Liaison: Amy Childers
