“Kimray values our Energy Workforce membership because of the education and leadership development resources provided to our company. I look forward to working with the Chapter to expanding what the Energy Workforce offers nationally through trainings, advocacy and scholarships locally in Oklahoma.”

Energy Workforce CEO Leslie Beyer and COO Molly Determan provided an overview of the association and how the chapters can align their activities for greater impact.
“Oklahoma is an energy powerhouse region, and we are very excited to relaunch the Oklahoma chapter,” Beyer said. “We look forward to working with the Chapter to develop programs of interest to Energy Workforce Members and specifically for the Oklahoma Chapter in education and workforce.”
Energy Workforce Chapters build strategic relationships with regional stakeholders and hold regional membership meetings with executive-level speakers from leading exploration and production companies. Additionally, Chapters raise money for the Energy Workforce scholarship program.
