Following this afternoon’s announcement that Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association President Chris John is leaving the organization at the end of the year, General Counsel and Acting President Tyler Gray says work on the transition will begin.
Gray says LMOGA is also working the organization’s goals for 2019, though he can’t yet comment on any specifics. He also says he doesn’t know whether the organization will launch a search for a new president.
In a prepared statement announcing John’s departure this afternoon, the outgoing president doesn’t elaborate on his future plans but says “it’s the perfect time for my wife Payton and I to move on to our next adventure.”
John, a former state legislator and U.S. congressman, has been president of the state’s oldest trade association for the past 11 years.
“I’ve had the privilege to work alongside some wonderful people through both good and bad times,” John says in a prepared statement. “I’m incredibly proud of all we have accomplished. Louisiana’s oil and gas industry has a bright future and is well on the road to recovery.”
