The Energy Workforce Supply Chain Committee hit the ground running for its first meeting of 2026. Led by Committee Chair Ryan Carr (Kodiak Gas Services), the group gathered to align on the evolving logistics landscape and begin the countdown to the industry’s supply chain confrence this fall.
Hosted by Ronn Nolin at Crane Worldwide Logistics, the first quarter meeting combined strategic discussion with practical application. Members explored the most pressing challenges facing today’s supply chain professionals before heading onto the floor for a tour of Crane’s warehouse facilities. The tour provided a “behind-the-scenes” look at the lifecycle of a shipment, from reception and sorting to customs clearance and final dispatch.
