Board of Governors

SEPAC's Board members are senior executives representing the full spectrum of our member companies, from small private producers to publicly traded independents. The members of the Board are elected for one-year terms by the membership at the Association's Annual General Meeting. The members of the Board meet ten times a year to consider, and provide policy guidance and strategic direction to the Executive Director of the Association, on a wide range of issues - from government policy and regulation, or royalties and taxation, to the Association's own communication strategies. Individual members of the Board will, from time to time, chair Board Committees that address particular issues in detail and make recommendations to the full Board.
