The Marcellus Shale Coalition on Monday named Kathryn Klaber as the new
organization's first president and executive director.
The announcement was made during the Second Annual Marcellus Shale and
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Best Management
Practices Workshop and Training Seminar in State College.
Klaber has worked closely with elected leaders, regulators and the
environmental community in her previous role as executive vice
president for competitiveness at the Allegheny Conference on Community
Development. A lifelong Pennsylvanian, she earned an undergraduate
degree from Bucknell University and a master's in business
administration from Carnegie Mellon University.
"The economic opportunities from the Marcellus Shale are real, growing
and already making a positive difference in the lives of
Pennsylvanians," Klaber said in a statement. "This is an exciting and
impactful time for the natural gas industry. I am committed to
facilitating the development of best practices that will benefit our
economy, our environment and our communities."
Experts believe the Marcellus Shale to be among the largest known
natural gas fields. The United States now has a growing 100-year supply
of clean, abundant, affordable, and domestic natural gas thanks to the
pioneering efforts to develop natural gas from shale.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
the responsible development of Pennsylvania's vast natural gas
resources. For more information, visit pamarcellus.com
